“Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.”
John 15:4
Hail Mary Full of Grace
“For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.”
—Psalms 91:11
29 Fire and hail and famine and pestilence, all these have been created for vengeance;
30 the fangs of wild animals and scorpions and vipers, and the sword that punishes the ungodly with destruction.
31 They take delight in doing His bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey His command.
32 So from the beginning I have been convinced of all this and have thought it out and left it in writing.
33 All the works of the Lord are good, and He will supply every need in its time.
34 No one can say, ‘This is not as good as that’, for everything proves good in its appointed time.
35 So now sing praise with all your heart and voice, and bless the name of the Lord.
Sirach 39:29-35, NRSVACE

We’ve fallen so far into a secular world of carnal pleasure, self righteous filth, and a contempt for all things tradition and holy. Pray for humanity, that they see the light of Christ before it’s too late.
Surely, this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.' Isaiah 25:9
The word " trusted" appears twice in this verse. The word trust means, you have faith in Jesus, in your waiting, in your pleading, in your praying. It basically means to rest, trustfully, in God at all times.
Perhaps you are waiting for God to do something in your life. You don't understand why things are not happening in the way you expected it to happen. I want to encourage you, God knows everything and He sees everything. He knows your fear , He knows every anxious thought.
It may not make sense now, but He will cause you to see the salvation of God, the goodness of God, the greatness of God, and the wisdom of God, in ways far greater than you could think or imagine. Don't lose heart. Be of good cheer.
