Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Wednesday, September 09, 2009

I see to do not My own Will but the Will of Him Who sent Me.

-Jn 5:30

Reflection: What good is it for you to give God one thing when He asks for something else? Discover what God wants and do it. Your heart will be happier than if your own desire had been fulfilled.

-St. John of the Cross

Prayer: Heavenly Father, let me strive---through constant prayer and careful reflection---to know Your Will for me. Then help me to offer You what You desire rather than what I want.
