'Father, I never knew it could be this hard.
I feel like a mountain-climber
halfway up a sheer rock cliff
too afraid to go ahead
too afraid to go back
too afraid to stay here, hanging by a rope.
Suddenly, Father, I am wondering
how I ever got into this.
I must have been out of my mind!
Perhaps it was pride.
Or perhaps I wasn't listening when
You told me of the easier way to go.

Father, help me find the footholds in the rock.
Give me strength of spirit to go on.
And I will sing a song of praise
for everyone to hear
as I begin the next climb.'

Psalms 121
A song of ascents.
1I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

nor the moon by night.

True happiness is not to hoard, but to give. It's not in winning the race, but in extending a hand to the one who stumbles next to you.
When you help silently, when you forgive without expecting words, when you sacrifice without seeking thanks - then you are truly living. Then Christ lives in you.
After all, He did not come to be served, but to serve. Didn't look for profit, fame or recognition, but only a human soul, tired, lost, sinful ... To embrace, heal, resurrect.
Live for your neighbor... moreTrue happiness is not to hoard, but to give. It's not in winning the race, but in extending a hand to the one who stumbles next to you.

John 16:12-15 The Spirit of truth will guide you
12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for
he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he
will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me,
because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the

Put everything in God's hands and do not worry about the future.
What will be useful to you and save you, is what the Lord will send.
Do not hold on to alarms like treasures.
They only dim the light of faith.
When the heart puts all its hope in God -
then comes true peace.
Even when you don't know the way -
it's enough to know who leads you.
For His will is perfect.
His timing is always on time.
Pray , work , love -
and Heaven will do the rest.
