Trust in His Presence

They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading.  John 6:21

How often do you want to take Jesus into you boat bit he has already given you what you need?  The disciples of Jesus were in a boat in the dark of night and the sea was stirred up.  The same thing happens in our lives when we it is dark and the wind has made our heart restless.  We we feel that Jesus is distant in our lives and we feel alone and afraid.  Jesus reminds us constantly we are never alone for I am with you always.  How often we reach a point that, ok Jesus I have struggled enough I should have asked for help a long time ago, but he knew what you needed and provided for you before you finished asking.  Jesus is always at your side ready  to guide your boat through the rough times to the place you were heading.  

And they arrived immediately, God is not restricted by time.  They were in the middle of the sea and in a moment they were on shore.  So often I look back and wonder how I got to the place I am and know that I had no control of the events that got me there.  God puts the people in your path at exactly the right time to benefit each of you.  Things always happen for a reason and when you look for the good in everything you see the goodness of God.


"Lord Jesus, may I never doubt your saving help and your watchful presence in my life, especially in times of trouble. Fortify my faith with courage and give me enduring hope that I may never waver in my trust in you."

The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”  Mathew 9:34 In the 'me culture' of today's society we fail to recognize Jesus.  There is so much ridicule that happens for one good thing that people fail to appreciate the good.  'If I appreciate that what will people say about me?'  Jesus did not care what people said, He continued on to complete his mission to the other towns and villages.  We live in a 'me culture' where we look at situations that happen around us and we ask what is in it for me, not what can I do to help.  We definitely do not live in a JOY filled world where Jesus is first, Others are second, and Yourself last.  Jesus did not let the doubt of the Pharisees dimish his message he was sent to bring.  He called for the master to send more laborers for the harvest.  There are people waiting to be invited, be strong in your faith.  The

My witness

Lets open with a prayer. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen. Lord Jesus, I believe in your presence in my life, family and those here today. I believe that you ask nothing of me that you do not give me the strength to do. I trust in the power of your grace and the care of your love. I love you, Lord, and I wish to love you with this prayer so that I may work according to your will and in your love. Amen Good Morning ~ Some of you may not know me, my name is Cory Sommer. I have been a member of St. Michael Catholic Church since 1999. When Pete asked if I was interested in giving my witness back in January, my immediate thought was am I ready, and after praying about it, I said yes but I still will probably read this word for word as that is where I am at right now. My second thought was, if I am ready, what are the daily readings for Mass for the day and what is God trying to teach me at this moment in my life. So if you know me you know that, and

You do not need to change I need to change...

Instead of you posting garbage to try to change the world, why don't you pray to God to change you?  Ask him to start in your soul and then pray to him to change your heart.  Believe me when I tell you, you do not have the ability to change the world, but you do have the ability to change you. Oh God I adore you, I give myself to you, may I be the person you want me to be and may your will be done in my life today....
