God's Will Be Done in Our Lives is the Best Approach in Living Well!

 

God knows what our needs are! He formed us and knew us before we were born! He is always looking out for us! From all their distress God rescues the just! His will be done in our lives is what is best for us! We often forget this, or think we know better than God, but we don't! His will for our lives is the best approach to living well on this Earth!  Jesus shows us how to pray! What a prayer it is! We need to say it daily. Let His will be done! Helps us to be thankful and forgiving! Let us remember that His will be done in our lives is the best way to live our lives! While we may not have complete Heaven here on Earth, we can see glimpses of it, like I do at the beach, or in my life with my career, spouse, or family, we need to live with God in our lives, pray like Jesus daily. Follow His teachings, the 10 Commandments, and be people of goodwill, to live the best we can for the glory of God! Let His will be done! 

Tuesday of the First Week of Lent Mass

Reading 1
Isaiah 55:10-11
Thus says the LORD:
Just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
And do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
Giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
So shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it.

and delivered me from all my fears.

Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,
and your faces may not blush with shame.

The LORD has eyes for the just,

Verse Before the Gospel
Matthew 4:4b
One does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

Gospel
Matthew 6:7-15
Jesus said to his disciples:
"In praying, do not babble like the pagans,
who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them.
Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
"This is how you are to pray:
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
"If you forgive men their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men,
neither will your Father forgive your transgressions."
