This morning I found myself thinking about trust.  Do I trust?

I pray each morning:

I trust your might, your kindness, Mother dear, I do believe that your are always near. Schoenstatt’s great Queen, O Mother mild, I blindly trust in you and in your Child.

But do I really trust?  When times are difficult that’s when trust is tested.  That’s when I need to be reminded that all things come from the hands of my loving Father.  Whatever happens in my life is either willed or allowed by my heavenly Father.  So my response is to trust.  I’m called to surrender, to allow the day-to-day circumstances to shape and form me into the new man.
