TODAY’S WORD…

“Before they call, I will answer.”

– Isaiah 65:24

REFLECTION…

“Before they call, I will answer”Ever watchful, God foresees our necessities and, in His providence and grace, He makes a way and arranges to grant favours long before we ask them off Him. He grants us those favours and blessings that are, ultimately, for our good, and are in accordance with His divine plan for us.

So numerous, also, are the blessings and comforts which we never did directly ask for, and which we have nevertheless received, through God’s loving grace. There is so much that God blesses us with! God is ever so attentive to our needs; so caring, so ready to anticipate them! So rich is His benevolence in providing for us!

God is truly great!

PRAYER…

Father in heaven, O most caring God,

thank You for all You provide;

for Your loving kindness towards me;

for Your generosity throughout the years.

Forgive me, Lord,

for the times when I took for granted all that I received;

for the times I never thanked You;

for the times I wanted more and sulked when it did not happen.

Forgive me, Lord,

for whenever I gave my quest for more, precedence over my love for You.

Lord, my prayer today is for more – more faith and trust in You –

…and for more of Your consoling presence

which never fails to fill me with hope and reassurance.

Thank You, Lord.  Amen.
