leave it to him

The Lord answered, “You can do it because I will help you….” – Judges 6:16

Our prayer group decided to visit Anawim, a home for the abandoned elderly, in 2009. My wife and I used to be regular visitors there so we were requested to lead the event.
However, with just a few days before our scheduled visit, we still did not have a firm plan on what to do. I suggested to our pastoral leader that we just bring some food and talk with the elderly.
In the morning of our scheduled visit, I said a short prayer for God to be with us. We arrived at the site safely. We were able to bring some food for sharing with everyone. We shared stories with the elderly. We talked with the volunteers. We prayed in their chapel. And most of all we had fun!
We felt God’s guidance in all the things we did. We came there with no firm program and yet everything fell into place. We can truly do a lot of things because we have God by our side. Alvin Fabella (alvinfabella@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
Are you faced with a daunting task today? Just do it, pray for God’s help, and trust that God is with you.

Lord, take over all the plans I have for this day.
