we need to ask!

We need to ask! Ask concretely! Not haphazardly, not skirting the issue, not ignoring the issue. Press the issue to Jesus, to the Father, to the Spirit. 

That is why prayers dont become personal to you. You did not bring your realities to the Father. 

You were masking them. Open them up to our Lord.

You say you trust in the Lord. But trusting isn't passive. It requires action on your part. You say you are suffering at work. Ask God for help! Be it strength to work harder, or work smarter,  or finding a new job . Then do it! Ask your guardian angel to be with you during interviews, during work.

Those who fail to view a crisis in the light of the Gospel simply perform an autopsy on a cadaver. They see the crisis, but not the hope and the light brought by the Gospel. We are troubled by crises not simply because we have forgotten how to see them as the Gospel tells us to, but because we have forgotten that the Gospel is the first to put us in crisis. If we can recover the courage and humility to admit that a time of crisis is a time of the Spirit, whenever we are faced with the experience of darkness, weakness, vulnerability, contradiction and loss, we will no longer feel overwhelmed. Instead, we will keep trusting that things are about to take a new shape, emerging exclusively from the experience of a grace hidden in the darkness.”
