I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord, your God, is with you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9

A Journey to the Well

   I kneel in the sunbeam, seeking God’s presence, begging for wisdom and direction. I am tired of struggling, trying to figure things out on my own, with what I know of God’s truth and His plan. The war, the division, the anxiety and fear, the insecurities of health and happiness, all of it hanging in the balance. I carry it all as I seek to meet my deepest needs, drawing water from a well that will never satisfy—a phone, a game, Facebook, the “news”, distractions all around me, scrambling for my attention. Like the woman at the well, I don’t want to face the disapproval of others; being told about the things that I “should” be doing or avoiding.

    I come to this place, here and now, looking for Him, seeking the Living Water he promised. The background noises invade the quiet, a ticking clock reminds me that time marches on. I know He is here and as I listen closely and settle into the silence; I know I hear Him ask “What are you looking for?” I quickly respond “Peace, joy, security, answers, health, assurance and direction.” “It is all here in my presence.” He declares. “The well of My Light, the well of Living Water, the wellspring of joy, hope and peace, IS MY PRESENCE. You must seek it and remain here. Draw water from My Word, My presence in the Eucharist, My still small voice calling within you and the beauty of My creation that speaks so clearly of who I am and what I desire. Know the depths of My love and mercy. As you drink, and abide in Me, My Living Water will flow through you to all the world. Live in peace My child, I know what I am doing. You cannot change it alone, but I, the Creator of the Universe, can. Do not be afraid, trust Me.”
