DIVINE MERCY REFLECTION: Being Tested
It may not be immediately pleasant, but at times we greatly benefit from being tested. The Lord permits this in a variety of ways.
Being tested is not a temptation; rather, it’s a way that the Lord allows us to endure a trial so as to invite us to more deeply submit to His holy Will. When you feel a trial come your way, the best thing you can do is to get down on your knees and pray, “Lord, may Your Divine Will be done in all things! I submit fully to whatever You desire!” What a perfect prayer, especially when prayed in the context of a trial. This prayer will enable you to pass the test (See Diary #1648).
How do you react when you are faced with a trial in life? Do you despair? Or do you get down on your knees and surrender your life to God? Ponder this and resolve to surrender in all things so that you will pass every test in life.
Lord, I do surrender to You my whole being. Take all that I am and all that I hope to be. All is Yours, Lord. Do with me as You will, when You will and how You will. Jesus, I trust in You.
