"O God strengthen my soul."

#331  Tuesday, Dec. 23/14, 10am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

“O God strengthen my soul.”  

Hasten not to say this prayer only once in a while --- but often, often, often.

I want you to understand that all the strength you will ever need will come from your God-fed soul.

Even your body strength.  Do not ask Me to make you strong physically, but rather strong soul-ly.

If your soul is strong, your body will be strong enough, and wise enough to do the task at hand.

You see, we separate our body strength from our soul strength.  We think that our body needs to be stronger so we can carry heavier stuff.

But when this happens, --  you need to carry things that are heavy, -- ask Me, pray to Me “O God strengthen my soul.”

This prayer will enable you to tackle the physical task at hand.

I don’t think we live in that connection.  We still do not unite our body and soul with the body ready and willing to take instructions from the soul.

But I encourage you to start to pray like this.

Ask your soul to give proper guidance to the tasks your body needs to do.

And they do not have to be heavy tasks!  Just any old task will do --- just start.

“O God strengthen my soul” --- so I can go to the basement and get something from the freezer.

Now the prayer certainly doesn’t have to be that prayer or that long, yet you can get the message from this example.

And perhaps, just perhaps, your body is not supposed to do a particular task, and thus the Wisdom stored in a strong soul will come into play and encourage you, strengthen you to approach the task differently.

“O God strengthen my soul”.  What a great prayer that has such a far reaching effect.

Do not separate what I have Created  --- body and soul.   Let them work as one to your good and My Glory.

Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and everywhere that Jesus Christ is borne ANEW in your heart.

What a precious gift, what a treasure, what a moment in time that needs to be celebrated and acclaimed!

Let Me stir your soul to greatness.  Let Me show you the Wonders of My Soul.

Sit with Me --- that is wondrous.

Listen for Me  --- that is wondrous.

Accept My Will for you --- that is wondrous.

We do not think of these as wondrous moments, as insights into My Most Sacred Heart, yet they are.

If you sit with Me, you do not sit in shame.

If you listen to Me, you will be well fed.

If you see Me in others, you will see more of Me.

How much more of Me you will get to know, if you sit, listen, and accept My Will.

Do not let your soul be filled with things to say to Me --- then we are back to ‘you centered’.

Let your soul come to Me free and clear of all your thoughts and plans and let Me move more of Me into all the extra empty spaces in your soul.

I have a lot of furnishings that will only enhance your soul house.

Come, adore. Come.

Your day will be complete just because you have spent time with Me.  Nothing else you do will measure an iota compared to what you do by coming aside and being in My Presence.  Not your greatest plans, or accomplishments, sayings, introspections, words, actions, nothing compares to us being together, coming aside to be with Me. 

I am always ready to come aside with you.  I wait for you to answer My Call and come aside to be with Me.

Come adore Him.
