0732 Trust in God.... earthly worries.... "Lord, Thy will be done...."
January 2, 1939: Book 15
And if you are conscious of the fact that the father protects you, you will be free from all earthly heaviness, the desire for spiritual food will increase in you and the resistance from outside will decrease. And so all men should be anxious to put their earthly worries into the background, and consciously abandon themselves to the lord, who arranges every event according to His will and in divine wisdom, and you therefore only demand spiritual protection, but the bodily protection is likewise granted to you, if only you trust. For only now do you recognize the guidance from above.... You can cope with everything if you willingly hand yourselves over to the lord.... He who sends you everything can take it away from you in the same way, be it suffering or joy, illness and worry or happiness. As you receive it, so it will be of use to you.... if you are devoted, you are also certain of blessing, but unwillingness or rebellion cannot bring about the result that is necessary for you and your salvation, and you must now endure all the more until you have recognized the meaning of the mission from above and willingly submit to it. Therefore, bear in mind in all suffering that you still have to endure such things for your own sake as long as you have not yet reached a state of maturity. Every admonition of this kind is based on a necessity which you probably do not want to recognize but which forces the heavenly father to intervene because it is for your own good. And the more patiently and devotedly you submit yourselves to the lord's will, the sooner all harm will be taken away from you, for the One Who sends you such things will take them away from you again when the time has come. The living part is the love of the lord, but he who is dead in spirit does not recognize the love of God.... but the love of God always expresses itself where life is in danger.... He who wants to live shall not perish, and he who is in danger of giving himself over to sleep must be prevented.... And every spirit will live who always recognizes God's guidance in every situation, in the adversities and annoyances of daily life.... who only ever prays: "Lord, your will be done in heaven and on earth!"
Amen
