God, take me where you want me to go.

"He will bring people in and out of our lives at the appropriate times to build up our faithfulness in Him."

Last night, I had the opportunity to hang out with a good friend of mine. He and I have been pretty busy lately, so we hadn't had the chance to sit down and have a moment of sharing in each others' time and thoughts. He was telling me that he went to a conference a few weeks ago, and that something stuck with him ever since: we need more prayer in our lives. More. If you think you are praying enough, pray more! Fully and actively participating in Mass with Holy Eucharist and receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation as frequent as needed, not just when they have the massive Reconciliation times with multiple priests during Advent and Lent.

God is so amazing that He put us two in that moment together so that my friend could share that with me. Wow. God is so perfect in the way He executes His plan. God is willing to use you to do things like the above, but do you listen and say yes? It is so hard, with all the noise in our lives to give ourselves to Him. To help in difficult situations, pray to the Trinity-God, His amazing Son, and the Holy Spirit, pray to Mary, pray to St. Michael, pray to Blessed John Paul II, pray for intercession. And it will make your life much easier to handle because you are implementing a very powerful prayer tool. Once you have the open dialogue with God, it will be easier for you to say "Yes!" and follow Him and His ways. God is good.
