15 January • Entrust Your Needs to God
In this uplifting message, Father Jordan DeGuire shares A Word of Hope for January 15th, emphasizing the importance of understanding God's love and our relationship with Him. He reflects on how we often see God as a tool to fulfill our desires, much like the Israelites who sought to control their fate by bringing the Ark of the Covenant into battle. Yet, their plans backfire, teaching us that true relationship with God requires trust in His will rather than our own. The Gospel highlights this lesson through the example of a leper who approaches Jesus, expressing his desire for healing but allowing Jesus to dictate the outcome. This teaches us that while it's important to bring our needs to God, we must also surrender to His greater wisdom, trusting that His actions are rooted in love and aimed at our ultimate good. Join Father Jordan as he encourages us to recognize God’s presence in every moment and to continually seek alignment with His will, no matter the circumstances we face.
