When we let our imagination roam regarding the future, we fall into despondency. However, if we surrender to these dark thoughts, it is no longer his yoke, which is always light and bearable, but a burden that we have created and imposed upon ourselves. Therefore, it is necessary to renew our decision several times a day that we want to trust him; this way, we learn to see him in every moment. A good resolution sounds as follows: “God, I promise you that I will consciously and voluntarily not worry about anything, that I will leave everything to you.”
(Mary David Totah, OSB /1957–2017/, Joy from God)
