Reflection for Today
Today we pray for trust in God's plan and His ability to help us through difficult times. Trust is the foundation of our relationship with God and the key to finding peace in challenging circumstances.
God is our Father, who loves us with a perfect love and is always ready to help us. As our Father, He knows exactly what we need and when we need it.
The title "God of all comfort" reminds us that God's help is constant and never-ending. He is always available to us, always ready to comfort us, and always ready to guide us through our difficulties.
As we begin this novena, let us ask God to increase our trust in Him. Let us ask Him to help us turn to Him with confidence in every need, knowing that He will always help us and provide us with the strength we need.
Remember that God's help is not limited by time or circumstance. He is perpetually ready to help us, and we can trust completely in His divine care.
