Conversation with God
Me : God, can I ask You a question?
God : Sure
Me : Promise You won't get mad…..
God : Sure
Me : Promise You won't get mad…..
God : I promise
Me : Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God : What do you mean?
Me : Well, I woke up late
God : Yes
Me : My car took forever to start
God : Okay
Me : at lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait
God : Hmmmmm
Me : On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call
God : All right
Me : Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God : What do you mean?
Me : Well, I woke up late
God : Yes
Me : My car took forever to start
God : Okay
Me : at lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait
God : Hmmmmm
Me : On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call
God : All right
Me : And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. But it would not work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God : Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of my angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me (humbled) : OH
God : I did not let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me : (ashamed)
God : The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I did not want you to catch what they have, I knew you could not afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed) : Okay
God : Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I did not even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly) : I see God
God : Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I did not think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me : I'm Sorry God
God : Don't be sorry, just learn to trust Me.... in All things , the Good and the bad.
Me : I will trust You.
God : And don't doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me : I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God : You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children...

In Jesus Name I pray
Merciful Father,
You are never weary of speaking to
my poor heart. You know my weaknesses and my failings, and that without Your
help I can accomplish nothing. Grant me, therefore, the help of Your grace, and
that if today I hear Your voice, my heart may trust You completely. Oh Father,
grant it according to my particular needs and enable me to bear patiently any
trials, suffering or failure that may come to me. And if I am overwhelmed,
Lord, help me to pray, help me to listen and help me to obey. In Jesus Name I
pray.
Amen.
The Trial of Jesus
After the blind were healed, and the crippled did walk,
Some men were jealous, and then there was talk.
This man, Jesus, the reason for fame?
The Son of God? What an outrageous claim!
He's just a man, watch him and know.
It's blasphemy, that's what! Arrest him! Now! Go!
Thirty pieces of silver bought Jesus that day.
Betrayed by a kiss, they took Him away!
They tried Him, they thought they had it down pat!
But some said He did this, others said He did that!
They finally agreed, they said with a nod.
He blasphemed when He said, He's the Son of God!
The custom of the day was to set someone free.
Pilate said, "This Jesus, is who it should be!"
The people said, "No, release Barabbas to us!"
They kept on until they raised quite a fuss!
The people, led by the chief priests that day,
Said, "Take this Jesus, and let's make him pay!"
He was dressed in purple, the color of kings.
They mocked Him and then, cast lots for His things!
They beat Him, spit on Him, everything they could do.
Put a crown of thorns on His head, pushed it down too!
They walked Him up the hill to Golgotha 's top.
With His followers behind, crying, "Oh, no, please stop"!
There they nailed Him down to the cross.
Then they dropped the cross into a hole with a toss!
While He hung there hurting too much to think,
Then they gave Him vinegar to drink!
For hours He hung there,
The people stayed, too.
He said, "Father, forgive them,
They know not what they do!"
The sky got dark, the Temple veil
tore in two.
Everyone was scared, didn't know what to do!
Some of the people ran away. Went somewhere to hide!
And there on the cross - the Son of God died!

3 O'Clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls
and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fountain of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fountain of mercy for us,
I trust in You.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy on us and on the whole world. (3x)
Jesus, King of mercy, We trust in You!
