Trust That God Is Present
“God speaks, touches, and reveals in God’s own way and in God’s own time. Still, the presence of certain conditions, such as trust, prayer, and patience, makes discernment of God’s call more likely. Having or meeting these conditions does not mean that we will discern God’s call, only that discernment becomes more likely…
First and foremost, we have to be willing to trust God and one another. Trust that God is present to us, speaks to us, is loving and merciful, and has work for us to do. Trust that, in opening our hearts to others, we will encounter the Lord. We need to act on the conviction that “all things work together for good for those who love God” (Rom. 8:28).”
