Thank you very much, Lord Jesus Christ for the assurance "Do not to let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?" (John 14:1-2).
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus!
We pray for those whose hearts are so troubled these days: those who will undergo surgery especially in the heart and in the brain; parents worried of their sick children or children who have gone wayward, lost in life despite the love they have showered them; spouses taking care of their sick husband or wife; those of us going through anxiety or panic attacks for so many reasons that are often not valid at all: Lord, we are so troubled with everything because so often we do not dwell in you, our true home! Many times, we are troubled because we do not abide or dwell in you with each other when some of us have suddenly turned cold and distant, unfaithful or feeling betrayed and taken for granted. Let us be present, Lord, in you in others; let us serve in love. Loving God is a continuous service of being present with others, especially our family and friends.
Help us renew our ties, our dwelling in you, Lord Jesus, God's "begotten Son" (Acts 13:33) by continuing this journey of loving service in you for you are "the way and the truth and the life" (Jn. 14:6). Amen.
