Novena
And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Something to consider

This day can both frighten and comfort us. Leading us on a different path scares us more than sharks in the water. The problem can be that we have gotten comfortable where we are even if it is in dangerous waters. I think much has to do with the delusion that we are in control and have control, or worse we don’t think it could possibly get any better. I can’t think of a better way to get to the other side of a tumultuous situation then to be carried I the arms of my Lord. Read this day again. Jesus will prepare me, carry me and bring me to safety. Thus, there is no need to worry rather settle back in the confidence of being fully loved and protected through whatever waters he will lead you. Trust Him, He is so worthy of our trust.
