My Lord, you who stand alone, come to my help; I am alone and have no help but you. Remember us, Lord; reveal yourself in the time of our calamity. Give me courage. Save us by your hand; help me who am alone and have none but you O Lord.
Beloved, when I call and You answer, Your answer may be something totally different from what I expect. Help me not to assume that Your will is aligned to what I want, it may be radically different from what I expect or even desire but inspite of it may I know that You will and Your anwer is better than anything that I could conceive.
Psalm 138:1-3, 7-8
1 I thank you, O Lord, with all my heart,for you have heard the word of my lips.I sing your praise in the presence of the gods.2 I bow down towards your holy temple and give thanks to your name,for your love and faithfulness, for your word which exceeds everything. 3 You answered me when I called; you restored my soul and made me strong.
7 If I walk in the midst of trouble, you give me life. With outstretched arm, you save me from the wrath of my foes, with your right hand you deliver me. 8 How the Lord cares for me! Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. Forsake not the work of your hands.
Matthew 7:7-11
• 7 Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened. 8 For everyone who asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds; and the door will be opened to him who knocks. 9 Would any of you give a stone to your son when he asks for bread? 10 Or give him a snake, when he asks for a fish? 11 As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
My Beloved, all the Scripture passages today about asking You for what we need and in the Gospel You speak so beautifully about a father's response to a child. Once again You remind me that God is infinitely good and all He desires for His children is that they too seek and ask for the true, the good and the beautiful.
