SHARING OUR PROBLEMS WITH GOD
Many of us human beings do not
like stress, we do not like whatever will drain our time and energy. This is
why we look for an easy way to everything. In our world of today, there are
many things that can easily make us tired as Christians. Many of us are already
tired of trying to meet up with various demands of our faith. Some are already
overwhelmed with the various troubles of life because of experiences everyday.
In the gospel reading of today,
Jesus is offering us a helping hand, a lifeline that can rekindle our hope.
Many people hardly remember to seek God when in trouble, they try to solve the
problems themselves. Jesus invites us today to come to him if we have been over
laboured or overburdened, and he will give us peace and rest.
The first reading of today gives
us the condition to attaining the rest and peace of mind in the midst of chaos;
we need to first of all be righteous and trust in God. Let us try and attain
this because Jesus alone has the answer. A problem shared with God by a righteous
person is half solved. God help us. Amen
