Very few people can live in isolation. We generally do better when we have people around to talk to, share stories with, and support us. I feel this is especially true when it comes to faith and religion. Here, I will attempt to share my thoughts and reflect on my spiritual journey -- I know this will further strengthen my faith, and I hope this will positively influence yours as well.  - CradleCatholic2.0

Jesus, I Trust in You

by CradleCatholic2.0

I am a big worrier. While in school, I worried about getting good enough grades to go to college. In college, I constantly worried about getting a job. Now that I'm working, I worry about meeting deadlines. I also worry about my family, about their health and overall well being. This continues on and on; my worries are endless. 

But looking back at every situation that I can think of, God has always been there for me. I do not always recognize Him in real time, but He puts the right people in my life at the right time to help and guide me. The poem "Footprints" by Mary Stevenson sums up my sentiments perfectly: "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you." Every time I read it, and meditate about it, I am overcome with God's love and my faith is strengthened all over again. 

So the next time you worry or feel anxious about something, take a moment to pray to the Lord, and trust that He will make things right.
