God's providence .... helpers in need ....

B.D. No. 3246 September 6th 1944

Recognize God's guidance, and give thanks and praise to Him .... For your fate in life is based on His will, and therefore everything has to happen as it happens. And therefore bear everything with patience, accept everything with gratitude, be it joy or suffering, for both will be for your best if you acknowledge it as God's providence and submit to His will. You will still have to endure the suffering of time for a little while, for the end will not leave anyone out, yet the father always and constantly holds His protective hand over His children and guides everything to the good, no matter what may come. Adversity is never greater than the Helper, and it is truly easy for His might to change the greatest adversity into happiness and to ease the earthly fate of the person who is in hard distress. But he must believe in Him and His power, in His love and seek to attain this love .... He must strive to live according to God's will so that God's love will also express itself. And even if earthly adversity seems insurmountable, firm faith and unshakable trust in God's help will banish it, and thus the human being himself has the surest means to avert it as soon as he appeals to the father in heaven, Who will not leave His children in adversity ....

Amen
