Tradcatknight: Be Not Anxious: How Much Time Do We Spend Worrying?
By: Eric Gajewski
Phil 4:6-7 Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
True or False. If we remain in a state of grace God is with us? This is an easy answer for any Catholic but why doesn’t it “feel like that” sometimes? Why must God seemingly “hide” Himself in our most difficult times? This is a question we ask on the nature level but Scripture on the supernatural level answers. As Christians when we are grafted into His Body we must understand that the Cross is the only way. It is not a potential path it is the only path. Afflictions help mold us into the Christians we ought be yet so many will never become the Saints God has desired for them because self speaks loudly in their lives. God is with us always in a state of grace. Yes, even in the darkest of times. We all can read Scripture and the lives of the Saints but the Cross is experiential. There are no sideline spectators in the interior life. Christ suffered therefore we must suffer likewise. He showed us the path and the way and yet so FEW choose this path. The other day I reflected upon how much time I lost personally in the past due to worrying and/or anxiety. I wonder if others have thought the same. Let me discuss further and then close with some Scripture for you to mediate upon (even print out) especially for those days which seem as though nothing goes right.
