Lack of faith.... power of prayer.... coincidences....

Remember the lord everywhere and at all times, and you will also become aware of His faithful care in all adversity. Anyone who places himself in His care truly need not worry about what tomorrow will bring, and anyone who lifts his eyes to Him in right trust will find his fate in God's hands. The person of little faith, on the other hand, resists the danger from outside and yet cannot turn it away from himself, for he needs it to awaken or increase his faith and trust in the lord, and if he is timid and does not grant his prayer strength he will have a hard time fighting, and this is only due to his lack of faith. In the forthcoming time all those who lack faith will be in dire straits and a palpable pressure will weigh upon them.... (24.5.1939) For example, people put themselves in the position of having to make a decision in an important matter and not being oriented to how the consequences of the decision he has made, he will always feel a certain uncertainty and understandably ask for advice, and then he will turn to someone who is able to assess both the benefit and the harm which every decision entails, and he will advise him to his advantage. But in exactly the same way the divine saviour also wants to be asked for His advice in every earthly matter, because He is nevertheless able to create the greatest possible advantage for the earthly child, which not only has a physical but also a purely spiritual effect on it. But this again requires first establishing the childlike connection with the father, for only a child is able to pray so intimately to the father that it will also be fulfilled. And therefore the lord also called out to all of you: "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest...." And if the father in heaven gives you this assurance, your faith shall be based on these words.... You shall unconditionally accept what the lord and saviour says.... you shall not doubt and not hesitate to comply with the divine will and carry an unlimited trust in Him in your heart.... And you shall remember the everlasting care of the divine lord. Not for one second does the lord withdraw His will from you, His creatures. The most diverse coincidences in life should make people think that, according to a certain wise plan, all events in life happen as they do, and these coincidences are only the visible intervention of an invisible power. And therefore the human being must also stand in the midst of all events, and the controller of all works of creation must also be granted the power to be able to avert the destined fates at will, and therefore the human being needs prayer so that he himself has it in his hands to hand over everything difficult to the divine lord and thereby be allowed to walk his earthly path unburdened and thus, to a certain extent, to choose the path which brings him the greatest advantage in spiritual matters, which brings him the greatest spiritual advantage without, however, excluding divine strength, for it is only this which ensures the right success for the being on earth.... but which has to be asked for consciously and therefore the human being recognizes the divinity with deep faith and Its working in love, omnipotence and wisdom....

Amen

MANJAK VJERE.... MOĆ MOLITVE.... SLUČAJNOSTI....

Mislite na Boga svugdje i u svako doba, pa ćete i iskusiti Njegovu vjernu skrb u svim nevoljama. Tko se stavlja pod Njegovu zaštitu uistinu se ne treba brinuti što mu sutrašnji dan donosi, i tko u pravom povjerenju svoj pogled uzdiže k Njemu, sudbina mu leži u Božjoj ruci. S druge strane, malovjernik se brani od opasnosti izvana pa ju opet ne može odagnati od sebe, jer njemu su one potrebne kako bi njegova vjera i povjerenje u Gospodara bili probuđeni ili umnoženi, a ako je neodlučan i svojoj molitvi ne pripisuje snagu, morati će se teško boriti, no to je samo radi manjka vjere. U predstojeće vrijeme u žestoke nevolje će dolaziti svi kojima nedostaje vjere, i na njima će biti jedan osjetni pritisak....

[[(24 Svibanj 1939)]] Čovjek se primjerice dovodi u situaciju da se mora odlučiti u nekom važnom pitanju a pri tome nije orijentiran glede toga kako se donesena odluka može odraziti, tako da će ga uvijek hvatati jedna određena nesigurnost, i shvatljivo je da će on tražiti savjet, pa će se onda obraćati nekome tko može prosuditi kako korist tako i štetu koju svaka odluka povlači za sobom, te će ga taj posavjetovati što mu je najbolje činiti.

A isto tako Božanski Spasitelj želi u svakoj zemaljskoj stvari biti zamoljen za Njegov savjet, pošto On zemaljskom djetetu itekako može omogućiti najveću moguću korist koja se za njega ne izražava samo tjelesno nego i čisto duhovno. A to je opet uvjetovano prvotnim dječjim uspostavljanjem veze sa Ocem, jer samo dijete može tako intimno moliti Oca da doživi ispunjenje. Ta zato je i Gospodar vama svima rekao: “Dođite k Meni svi koji ste opterećeni, Ja ću vas odmoriti....” [[(Matej 11:28)]].

A ako vam Otac u Nebu daje to osiguranje, vaša vjera se treba dizati na tim riječima.... Vi bezuvjetno trebate prihvaćati što vam Gospodar Spasitelj govori.... ne dvojbiti i ne oklijevati slijediti Božansku volju i u srcu nositi neograničeno povjerenje prema Njemu.... I trebate misliti na vječitu skrb Božanskog Gospodara. Niti jednu sekundu Bog ne povlači Svoju volju od vas, Njegovih stvorenja. Najrazličitije slučajnosti u životu ljude bi morale nagnati na pomisao da se prema određenom mudrom planu svi događaji u životu sklapaju tako kao što je to slučaj, i baš te slučajnosti su samo vidno uplitanje jedne nevidljive Sile.

Prema tome i čovjek mora stajati usred svih događaja, a Upravljaču sveg djela stvaranja mora se pripisati i moć da planirane elemente sudbine po volji može odvratiti, i zato čovjek treba molitvu, kako bi on sam imao u ruci to da sve teško preda Božanskom Gospodaru i time rasterećen može ići svojim zemaljskim putem te tako na izvjestan način bira put koji mu donosi najveću korist u duhovnom smislu, bez da se isključuje Božanska snaga, jer tek ona je ono što zemaljskom biću osigurava pravi uspjeh.... no koja svjesno mora biti izmoljena i tako s dubokom vjerom čovjek priznaje Boga i Njegovo djelovanje u Ljubavi, svemoći i mudrosti....

AMEN
