[Author's note: As I prepare my portfolio for an upcoming interview, I am less likely to return comments or e-mails. I will do my best to return them promptly. Thank you for understanding.]
Many of you commented that I need to make a conscious effort to set my will aside and let the power and grace of God's will act through me.
I read these short lines from Psalm 119, 8-9:
Better to take refuge in the Lord than to put one's trust in mortals. Better to take refuge in the Lord than to put one's trust in princes.
In a world of increasing independence, cynicism, hate, intolerance, and moral relativism, I find these two sentences remarkably cheering. In clear erudition we are reminded that we must give ourselves only to one person in life - God. We will give to Caesar what is Caesar's, but we must also give to God what is His.
This gives great strength during moments of fear, stress, and even anger. Anyone can find a way to take their very human emotions and give them to God for help and safe keeping.
