Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender. That is to say, when you worry that a situation has not
had the desired outcome, you thus demonstrate that you do not
believe in My love for you. You will prove that you do not consider
your life to be under My control and that nothing escapes Me.
Never think: How is this to end?... What is going to happen? If you
give into this temptation, you demonstrate that you do not trust Me.
Do you want Me to deal with it...yes or no? Then you must stop being
anxious about it! I shall guide you only if you completely surrender
to Me and when I must lead you into a different path than the one
that you expect, I carry you in My arms.
What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your
obsession, your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can
do so many things when the being, as much in his material
necessities as in his spritual ones, turns to Me saying: "You think
of it." then he closes his eyes and rests quietly. You will receive
a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Me. You pray to
Me when in pain so that I intervene, but in the way you desire it.
You do not rely on Me, but you want Me to adjust your requests.
Don't behave like sick ones who ask a treatment to the doctor, all
the time suggesting it to him. Do not do that; but rather, even in
sad circumstances, say: "Lord I praise and thank You for this
problem, for this necessity. I pray You to arrange things as You
please for this terrestrial and temporal life. You know very well
what is best for me."
Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminish. Do
not get agitated. Close your eyes and tell me with faith: "Thy will
be done. You think of it." And when you speak thus, I accomplish a
miracle when necessary. I only think of it when you trust me
totally. I always think of you, but I can only help you completely
when you rely fully on Me
