28th July 2009 (Morning Prayer)
My dear little one,
Clear perception and prayerful discernment will help you to follow the Will of God. You must have clarity in your thoughts, in the words you speak and in your actions when you commit to serve the Lord. Satan will try and confuse you and cause misunderstanding. Put on your armour of protection – your shield of faith – trusting in the Lord in all you do. Look to Scripture and see the many accounts that tell you how I, your Lord and God went to a quiet place to pray to the Father. You will not have clear perception of God’s Will if you do not take time away in a quiet place to pray and discern God’s plan for you. Do not make your day so busy that you have no time for God. Put God first and you will reap the benefits of your faithfulness. Look to the saints who trod the path of faith before you. They were zealous in serving God and spent time each day in quiet contemplation. Listen and learn the ways of the Lord. Do not be wilful and want to do God’s work your own way. You must be trained in the ways of the Lord. Be docile to the Spirit’s prompting. Learn to recognize the movement of the Spirit. Be still in my presence and you will be given the keys of understanding and knowledge, patience and perseverance, wisdom and reverence, prudence and sound judgment, humility, obedience and faithfulness in times of adversity. I have called you to come and follow me as a disciple of holy love – my servant of the little way. Pray my little one for the knowledge you need to know, love and serve God with all your heart, mind and soul as a missionary servant of God’s love.
