“Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him.”
Reflection for Today
The Church sets before us Tobit 4:20: “Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him.”
A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings. Tobit, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Tobit 4:20 remain. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.
Prayer
