A certain priest in the USA began to be pressed by temptations against faith – he felt like God did not know about him because He was not intervening in His life. The Lord taught him a lesson. The priest decided to go on holiday, but did not tell anyone where he was going. While staying at a motel, the receptionist called him to the phone. There was a woman on the phone who wanted to commit suicide. She thought she had called the rectory because she had written down his number from a programme about Jesus Christ that he had presented on television; she had simply dialled the number she had written down. She had no idea that she had called the motel where he was staying. The woman was saved, and the priest realized that he could not hide from God – He knew everything about him. That was a great encouragement to him.

Jesus says: “I am with you all the days of your life.” Jesus is with me today and always, whether I feel it or not. He said so and it is true! He calls us out of our self to fix our eyes of faith on Him. Instead of dwelling on the problems that are weighing us down, we should ask: What does God want now? What is God’s will? Then comes peace.
