Disciple of Prayer
I promised I would write a letter if Jesus helped me with something. I needed money for rent. I contacted a lot charity agencies and a lot of catholic churches and charities. I didn't need much, but I couldn't get the help I needed right away. So I finally told Jesus, I was giving my whole problem to him. I couldn't fix this one without his help. Don't you know, I got the idea to call my bank to see if I could get back some of my overdraft fees because I was having a hardship. I needed like 45.00 - I got 140.00. But here is how it all started, and I hope this helps anyone in need and i hope they know God loves everyone one of us. When I was in confession, I told my confessor the problem I had. He said 'have faith' 3 times to me. I thought a lot about what that meant. It means if Jesus tells you you can walk on water, you will walk on water, but the moment you doubt, like peter, you start to drown. This kind of faith is incrediblly difficult to obtain. It has worked for me 3 times in my life. What did I do that was different? I gave it ALL up to Jesus. I asked him to take the burden on for me, tried very hard not to think about it and just let him lead me.....example....i needed to get somewhere, and I got lost. I told God, 'that's it, i'm done. please take me to the church.' I just started driving, if it felt good to take a left, I took a left. Let me tell you ...I got there in less than 2 min. There are really only 2 things God wants from us, our love and our faith in him. The next time things get bad, give it all up to him, if he tells you to jump and he will catch you, do it and don't ask not one single question.
