Your Needs, My Needs

Think about your needs for a minute write them down make a list what do you need?

When we think about our needs we get stuck in the small stuff. If Mary the blessed Mother were standing before you and asked what do you need? Look at your list? What are you going to tell her? What if we thought about needs from this perspective always? Because then we’re actually thinking about, true needs and an awful lot less about wants. Sometimes the answer to everything that we need is peace, we need to be at peace. We need to let go of anxiety realize the situations we are in are intended for a purpose. Even we we are suffering, maybe it’s a lesson we need to learn. Sometimes the best way to know and understand is in the experience, maybe the suffering is because of an ignorance that we have and we need to become aware. Other times it is our future laying in the balance and we suffer now to prepare us for something else and through that suffering we will be well equipped to handle what's to come.

This is a possible and sound perspective.

We can’t really know the future and so we can’t know why certain things happen, but we can trust that no matter what, God has us well in hand. He will never abandon us.
