Although the various events of today have left little time, I want to reflect briefly upon an aspect of Divine Providence brought to my attention once more. Whenever I am fretting about something—about being late or inconveniencing someone in particular—I often find that it all works out perfectly, as if my Lord is trying to remind me that He has everything in control. He accounts for all our weaknesses, all our failures, all our choices...
What does fretting gain for us? Moments of tenseness or anxiety.
Why then do we not let go entirely and trust wholly in Him? Something keeps us back from doing so. Often, I think, that something is our desire to be in control, our need to make things right, our pride unable to believe that we are not the center of the universe.
