Trust in God.... promise: "Ask and you shall receive...."

The lack of trust in God will become quite obvious when people find themselves in great earthly adversity because they lack profound faith.... faith in a power which can change every event in the world through its will. The believer surrenders to this power with complete trust because he knows that the love and omnipotence of God wants to help him and can help him, and thus the full believer has an advantage over the unbeliever because he is often spared anxiety and worry, whereas the unbeliever lives in constant anxiety and worry because he has no one to turn to who can relieve him of this. Trust in God therefore requires deep faith, but at the same time trust in God determines the depth, i.e. intimacy, of prayer. For he who is full of trust in God will come to God in all the needs of body and soul and ask Him for His help.... He will call upon Him in his heart, and thus the fervent prayer rises up to God. And the father in heaven hears this because His love for His children is so great that He does not want to leave them in suffering and sorrow. But where there is a lack of full confidence that God can and wants to help, prayer will only timidly rise up to God and the help will be correspondingly weak. It is therefore absolutely necessary to penetrate to a strong faith, because it only results in heartfelt prayer to God and thereby the connection with God is established much more easily. In strong faith the human being feels closer to God and he is able to pray in spirit and in truth, i.e. to speak to Him unbiasedly, and the sooner his prayers will be able to be answered, for a prayer sent to God in profound faith and full trust must necessarily result in fulfilment, because God Himself has promised people that He will give them what they desire.... "Ask and you shall receive...." And what God has promised will always and forever remain pure truth.... So if He has given people the assurance that He will help them, they can also believe without doubt that He will do so and now let their confidence grow strong. And from that hour on earthly life will also be easier to bear, for what the human being's own strength is not sufficient for he will be able to do with the support of God's strength, which the fully believing human being can and will request, because God Himself has placed it in people's hearts to ask Him if they need His help. Strong faith can also be requested and God will also answer this prayer, for if a person asks for spiritual possessions he will never make a wrong request....

Amen

ZAUPANJE V BOGA.... OBLJUBA: »MOLITE IN BOSTE PREJELI....«

Do pomanjkanja zaupanja v Boga bo povsem zagotovo prišlo takrat, ko se bodo ljudje nahajali v veliki zemeljski težavi in nimajo globoke vere.... vere v silo, ki lahko s svojo voljo spremeni vse dogodke na svetu. Človek, ki ima vero, se s popolnim zaupanjem prepušča tej sili, ker on ve, da mu Božja Ljubezen in vsemogočnost lahko in tudi želita pomagati, pri čemer je človek, ki je izpolnjen z vero, v prednosti glede na nevernika, ker se na ta način pogosto izogne strahu in skrbem, medtem ko nevernik živi v nenehnem nemiru in skrbeh, ker se ne more na nikogar obrniti, da bi mu umaknil ta nemir in skrbi.

Tako da je zaupanje v Boga pogojeno z globoko vero, kakor je zaupanje v Boga obenem tudi ključnega pomena za globino oz. (pri)srčnost molitve. Namreč tisti, ki je poln zaupanja v Boga, se bo v vsaki težavi telesa in duše zatekel k Bogu in Ga prosil za podporo.... (po)klical Ga bo v srcu, tako da se na ta način iskrena molitev dviga k Bogu. In Oče na Nebesih jo bo uslišal, ker je Njegova Ljubezen do Njegovih otrok tako ogromna, da jih ne more pustiti v trpljenju in skrbeh. Torej tam, kjer primanjkuje popolnega zaupanja v to, da Bog želi pomagati, se bo tudi molitev le neodločno dvigala k Bogu, čemur sorazmerno slaba bo tudi pomoč.

Prodor v močno vero je absolutno nujen, ker je od njega odvisna iskrena molitev, s katero se potem veliko lažje vzpostavi stik z Bogom. Človek, ki ima močno vero, se počuti bližje Bogu in lahko moli v duhu in Resnici, kar pomeni, da se lahko prostodušno (iskreno) pogovarja z Njim. In njegove molitve bodo lahko toliko prej uslišane, ker mora tista molitev, ki je namenjena v globoki veri in s popolnim zaupanjem, brezpogojno pripeljati do izpolnitve, ker je Sam Bog ljudem obljubil, da bo dal tisto, po čemur hrepenijo....

»Molite in boste prejeli....« To, kar je Bog obljubil, ostaja za vekomaj Čista Resnica.... In če je torej On dal ljudem obljubo, da jim bo pomagal, lahko ravno tako brez dvoma verujejo, da bo On to tudi naredil (Hebrejcem 10:23; 11:11), pri čemer bo obenem tudi raslo zaupanje. In takoj je lažje prenašati zemeljsko življenje; namreč tam, kjer človekova lastna moč ni zadostna, pomaga Božja moč, za katero lahko zaprosi človek, ki je poln vere; kar pa bo tudi naredil, ker je Sam Bog ljudem dal priporočilo, da Ga prosijo, če potrebujejo Njegovo pomoč. Enako tako pa se lahko izmoli tudi močna vera. In Bog bo to molitev uslišal, ker vsakič, ko človek moli za duhovne dobrine, molitev ni nikoli napačna.
