Choosing to Trust Jesus


                “From the fear of being asked to give more than I have, Deliver me Jesus.
                This prayer is taken from a litany written by the Sisters of life (sistersoflife.org).  I’m sure there are at least a few stanzas in it that each of us can connect with.  They all refer to trusting Jesus, and letting Him be, and act in our lives.
                The particular line I referred to stands out for me in a personal way.  It is my call to be more voluntarily vulnerable with Jesus, when life keeps trying to pull me down.  I remember as a high schooler at a youth group kick-off, someone was challenged to stand on a chair and fall BACKWARDS into the interwoven arms of two rows of teenagers, all of them ready to catch her.  How do you think she felt about that?!  Now, that person was definitely not me, but I still see how the purpose of the activity was to indicate how much we trust Jesus.
                Do you trust Him enough, to let Him catch me?
