O Gracious Lord.

O Gracious Lord.

How I want My People to come to realize that I am a Gracious Lord.

It is a simple prayer.  “O Gracious Lord.”

It is your way of thanking Me for all the Graces I have poured forth on you.

It thanks and praises Me all in one small prayer.

I am a Generous Lord.  I want My People not to hesitate to come to Me and ask for what is on their heart, or to express what has really upset them.

Part of My Graciousness is that I will listen to any and all you have to tell Me.  Nothing is too foolish, too absurd, too trite, that I do not take the time to listen and hear.

I want to be your dearest confidante.  I want to hear what you want to share with Me;  I even want to hear what you don’t really think I need to hear.

Leave nothing out.  Tell Me things from your past, tell Me your plans for the future.

Margo, you felt Me nudge you to kneel and bring your precious soul and the precious souls of the 3 women who called yesterday and the precious souls of their dear babies into My Gracious Welcoming Sacred Heart.  I want all of you to realize that I am in charge, so there is to be no ‘what if I had said that” scenario.  That takes you back to you trying to solve their predicament instead of bringing them to Me to let Me Love them.

You will notice, all of you, that anytime you take on the problem or judge that you should have done more, then you ARE NOT praying to Me.

You can test it out on anything, anything at all.  If you can’t get the top off a jar --- bring that small problem to Me and I will direct you how to solve it.

When we go to ourselves as the problem solver we certainly end up spending more time with ourselves than with Me.  I am oh so right aren’t I?

So, no matter what arises, do not consult with you but rather consult with Me.

That way the time is well spent in endeavoring to solve the problem.  And the onus does not fall on you to be the solver of the problem.  It is only a problem when we do not give it to God as fast as possible.

Once we put it into His Hands then we have more time to chat with Him, to adore Him, to be at peace within Him.

See how He solves our problems?  He takes it out of our hands, mind, heart and cares for it so much better than we ever could while at the same time giving us peace and quiet to spend refreshing ourselves in His Sacred Heart.

He really solves 2 problems doesn’t He.  One being the problem that was presented to us or that presented itself to us, AND the problem of wanting to have more time to spend in His Almighty Presence.

Do you see how Gracious I am?
