"Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress. Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and those who pursue me. O Lord, let me never be put to shame, for I call on you." (Ps 31:10.16.18)
The eventful story of a man caught in the web of a cross-road of life with no help is better told than experienced.
At this point in time, all hope seems to be veiled with darkness that no light can penetrate. He is being left in the ocean of hopeless hope but God whose magnanimity goes beyond bound turned His gaze upon him; having listening to his plea as the Psamist says:
"Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress. Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and those who pursue me. O Lord, let me never be put to shame, for I call on you." (Ps 31:10.16.18)
Indeed, the steadfast love of God cannot cease, it is renewed every now and then. Similar is the case of Prophet Jeremaiah in today's first reading (cf. Jeremiah 20:10-13) where despite the rejection He stood firm and trusted in God. Thus, he said: "For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers." (Jeremiah 20:13).
Let us dearest friend(s) in Christ hold on to God no matter the situation, for He is there to see us through. Peace, be with you!
Let us pray
Grant, we pray, almighty God, that your servants who seek the grace of your protection may be free from every evil and serve you in peace of mind. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
