Welcome to Let Love, a podcast with the Sisters of Life. We invite you to join us for conversation, looking at life through the lens of love. You are loved. You are made in God's image, and your life matters. Let's talk about it.
A warm welcome to everyone. This is Sister Nectaria. This is Sister Veritas with Let Love podcast. We're back. We're so glad to be back. Sister, how's it going today?
Yeah, it's going good. And I'm actually, like, this is like my favorite thing in the world to talk about, isn't it? To let love deal with your stuff. I want to put it on a t-shirt: "Challenge: It really helps me when I think about just letting love deal with my stuff."
Yeah, because let's be honest, we all got stuff. We all have stuff. You know, be it sister stuff or non-sister stuff. Amen. We got it, and we need, we need love to have this deal with it.
Totally. Yeah. Actually, it makes me, can I think of a story?
Tell me.
Um, well, it's actually one of my favorites. It's like a SV classic. So, we don't live too far from this place called Hunts Point, which basically they distribute all the food to New York City. It's like wholesale. They're like heroes of New York.
Heroes of New York. It's huge. I like, I mean, whatever you need, produce, hot dogs, and so on.
So, on occasion, they'll have like leftovers or things that they can give to charity. So, we'll go pick it up.
Mm-hmm.
So, there was an occasion that we had, you know, we were celebrating the profession of our sisters. So, we called the contact that we had there. And they're like, you know, we were just wondering if you had some extra produce. And they're like, absolutely, sister. What do you need?
So, we're like, you know, like five pineapples and like five bunches of grapes and like, you know, what kind of went through the list. And we, we took off. This is two other sisters and in one of our favorite cars. It's like this purple Geo Prizm. It's since died. It was like a classic, but like two-door.
The best. Yeah, the best. Awesome ride. Duct tape on one of these few panels. And I'm sure had a great name because we name our cars.
Helps a lot. It helps them help sustain the journey. Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember the name. Is it Mimi?
Mimi? Yeah. Yeah. Something. I really tried to just cheer on, you know.
Yeah. So, these sisters like take off in the Geo Prizm to pick up the fruit. And so they arrive and they go in and talk to the guy. He's like, yeah, sure, sister. Just like, you know, back, back a truck up to the loading dock.
I know this was like, yeah, yeah. All right. Well, back up our kind of loading dock. And basically, like, this was like the most hysterical moment ever because this huge forklift was like, pallets and pallets and pallets of fruit, which is actually bigger than the Geo Prizm car. Like, comes coming out like, beep, beep, beep. And like, all the guys were like, looking at the sisters like, you're nuts.
Because what we realized is like, there was a little bit of like, a translation error. So, like, when we said five pineapples, they said five pallets of pineapples. We said like two strawberries. We were thinking two quarts. They're thinking two pallets.
So, like, this enormous, I mean, bigger than the car. And like, you could tell, like, this was a moment. Like, these guys are busy.
Mm-hmm.
And like, there's this moment where like, you know, there's like that awkward silence. And we're just wondering where this thing's gonna go. Like, they're either gonna be super frustrated with us because clearly a major misunderstanding. We don't speak the Hunts Point language. Don't speak the language. We're surrounded by semis. We definitely don't have a trunk. And they've prepared this order for us, though, which is obviously not gonna be fitting into.
And like, so it's like this moment where like, the sisters are like, how is this thing gonna go? Holy Spirit shows up. And like, we all start, or they all start laughing. Just laughing. The guys are laughing. They're like, you thought that was what did you think?
And, you know, as soon as we know it, we're like, passing out roses and miraculous medals and getting prayer intentions. And we made some good friends that day. But I don't know, maybe like a warm-up to like, the spirit of love is always about us, you know? He's always at work. And it's like, giving him space to go to work.
And this is what we pray like, this Holy Spirit, the spirit of love, overflowing into the whole earth. And it's like receiving that gift, letting love deal with our stuff. Because love is there for us to deal with our stuff.
Totally. And even when it's more stuff than we can even imagine dealing with, we can't fit it all in. It's like, He can do it. He can do it. And He wants to, actually.
King of the universe. Yes. Prince of Peace. Nothing's too much for Him. Nothing.
Yeah. Like, we gotta like get into this. Hey, my sister, you start with a prayer to it. You want to start?
I'd love to. Sister. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Jesus, we ask that you draw us into Your heart, Your Sacred Heart, on fire with love, with a love of the Holy Spirit. We ask for the grace to give You permission to come into our hearts, to bring Your love into our stuff, and to our joys, into our sorrows, into the places where our hearts hurt, the places we need Your love the most. And we ask for the grace to receive the gift of love that You desire to give us, into this day, and then through every piece and part of our lives. We give You permission, Lord, and we ask You to come and reign over our lives with Your love. Blessed Mother, we ask that You just pray for us, that we might be faithful daughters, good sons, following after the loving will of the Father. And that You pray for us. Help us to just to receive the great love for us. As we say, Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Our Lady of Grace, pray for us. Amen. Spirit. Amen.
What I love this topic exists, you know, because it's like, like we mentioned, we all got stuff. It's all different.
Mm-hmm.
You know, and it's kind of like, you know, what every family has a junk drawer. Hmm. And even, I mean, I find myself having a junk drawer that's very hard to avoid. Convent papers and paper clips and all these things. But it's like, we have, we we all got stuff. At some of this good. It's like, why do I have this? But like, what's, what would be like, what's the linchpin, you know, like, why do we have to kind of, I mean, deal with it in the first place? But, but like, why is it there? Why do we even posture ourselves toward kind of the stuff for our kind of interior junk drawer or treasure drawer, whatever?
Hmm. Well, I think it's a beautiful question, sister. I think there's a one-word answer, and then I want to break it open. And you may, you can disagree with me if you'd like to. But I think when it comes to letting love deal with our stuff, and we'll talk and we'll break that open more later, it's like recognizing that we're poor. We have needs. We have desires. We have things that we want to become more whole. We have places in our hearts we want to be more healed. And in a sense, we see this in our missions all the time. It's like, we have the, the gift and the grace, really, to profess this vow of poverty, which basically puts us in this incredible posture, in position. We're poor. And as we're like, hey, placing ourselves at the surface of women who are faced with unexpected pregnancies, with a lot of needs, that we, in and through this vow of poverty, literally throw ourselves on the mercy of God's providence. We see miracles happen.
Mm-hmm.
We see miracles happen. And, and it's actually in being poor, being humbly real, that we're poor and that we're needy, that we're able to bring these places, turn them over to God and say, hey, God, what do You want to do? So, like Moses, for example, right? Right. Pharaoh is on his tail. He's like, trying to book it with his chosen people. And okay, there's this huge body of water. And what does he do? He turns to the Lord in prayer. He's like, hey, what do we do now?
Mm-hmm.
But what do we see? God's creativity. Like, God is infinite. The possibilities are infinite. Yeah. And what does God do? He parts the whole sea. It's amazing. They pass right through it. It's amazing. So, in a sense, what we're doing is we're bringing our limited, limitedness, our poverty, our weakness, whatever our stuff, right? And we're letting love deal with it. Because God is love. That's it.
Well, it actually reminds me too, though, the multiplication of the loaves, you know, on the mountain. It's like five barley loaves, two fish. As all this kid's got. And it's like, she's like, perfect, perfect, perfect. Exactly, exactly what I need. You know, and letting love take it and make something new, make something bigger.
Well, you know, it's awesome. And it's like, multiplied. Mm-hmm. Super abundantly. Mm-hmm. So, I'm into it. Yeah. This is what I want to happen to my stuff.
Me too. And I love how you mentioned the missions. Actually, because it's like, you actually made me think of a memory of one of the women I were serving who really wanted this particular stroller. And it, like, it was like her dream. She didn't have the money to buy it. And who knows, like, this particular, you know, color and special features. And it was like her dream. And then we get this call from the sky one day. He's like, sister, I just wanted to, you know, do some good stuff. And can I, I just wanted to send some strollers over, you know, brand new. Okay, great. And they show up. She unwraps this package. And it's, we didn't tell him. It's exactly the stroller. Everything down to the, the model, make, everything that she desired.
Unbelievable. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. This is what God loves to do. Yeah. His fatherly. Yeah. Be a faithful father to us. Yeah. Wow.
Well, and I guess I would have to ask her, it's like, how do you let love deal with your stuff?
It's a great question, sister. Well, you know, I got to say, the first thing, the first thing that I find very helpful is to name it. I mean, to name this, whatever stuff I'm dealing with this. So, it could be, you know, personal or kind of things I'm dealing with in the mission or whatever. But as an example, maybe it's like, gosh, I just totally said the wrong thing in that conversation. Hey, Winona. But, but seriously, it's like, okay, for example, said totally the wrong thing. Wow. And, you know, but I think first for me, it's like, kind of just calling it out. Like, who am I kidding? I said the wrong thing. You know, naming it, naming it. And then naming my experience of it. Like, wow, I said the wrong thing, and I feel really bad about that. And this person probably does too. And it's a total mess. You know, just being totally honest. And then, and actually in acknowledging the truth, like both actually being honest with myself and with Jesus. Like, like, I'm not, I'm not trying to hide anything. Hmm. But yeah, it's just a mess. Yeah. But then for me, the next most powerful step, actually, is like, I can't do it. Hmm. I actually can't fix this. It's beyond my, it's beyond my power. It's beyond my control. It's gonna take, it's gonna take You, Jesus. Just take an act of that, an act of God, divine intervention. So, yeah, it's that acknowledging it. I can't do it. And then literally like, okay, Jesus, You got to do it. Like, Jesus, I love the prayer, Father, to limbed over Toto. Hmm. Miss Arendt Oh God. He's a great surrender novena. It's kind of taken a lot of the world by storm. But it's like, Jesus, I surrender myself to You. Take care of everything. Basically, translation: Please deal with my stuff, 'cause I can't do it. And actually, I'm just putting myself in that posture of total not being able to do it. Not, it's not giving up. Actually, it's kind of like, it's focused engagement on the one who can fix it.
Well, and it's like, I trust You, and You're gonna do something awesome. And it's, and then waiting, actually, this confident, expected hope.
Well, and yeah, I think it really, for me, I mean, I'd love to actually know what your experience is. But it like, takes the weight off. 'Cause I can get so twisted up in trying to figure things, trying to make things right. Yeah. And it's like, it's like a spiraling circle of vortex doom. Like a hamster wheel, also known as. They just like, get off the wheel. You gotta get off the wheel. Yeah. You. So, I think, I don't know, that made total sense. But it makes total sense. Yeah. Actually, yeah. In a sense, I am hearing you say, being humbly real. Yeah. Saying, I'm poor. I love it. And owning it. The truth will set you free. Yeah. I love your name, Sister Harriet. Ah, thanks. Like, I hear you singing in there. Yeah. And turning it over. And, and in a sense, really looking to Jesus and rendering it to Him and placing the weight on Him. And this expected hope. And what I hear you saying is like, that actually gives Him permission.
It does. I totally don't. And it's fruitful for you. It's so fruitful. Because actually, the whole point of life is He wants to be in everything and to do it. Like, we're, He's not some kind of, I think we can believe in this kind of, please, you know, some, hmm, where it's like, okay, I give You the tools, I give You the grace, You figure out Your life. And actually, that's exactly not what God does or does. And He wants to be with us in it. And He, who actually wants to do it, because He's a loving Father. Hmm. Yeah. And He, no, no father wants to see their kid sit in a pile of muck. Amen. He's a good Father. He's a good Father. But, but yeah, that's kind of my, my brief, kind of go-to. But I'd love to know what, how your kind of approach your stuff.
I love it. Well, I love it, sister. I love, you know, I think I think in being real with this, it's like, we're each gonna have our own kind of approach because whether it's personality or temperament or, right? Yeah. And I think it's good to appreciate that. And, you know, if you're listening, it's like, what's a meaningful way for you to do this? And actually mapping it out. Because yes, I think I'm a, I don't want to convict myself as a cleric, but I know it's in my blood. You know, I do love, you know, step-by-step programs. So, it's like, maybe I'll pitch mine is like, spiritual infomercial. Sounds great. Simple and yet revolutionary. And I know I've talked about it before, but it's like, when I learned to do this, and I'm gonna tell you what it is, I'm just gonna bait you a little bit. It actually changed my life. Wow. It, it dramatically changed my life and drew me into a living relationship with Jesus where love was, is, it continues to stay to deal with the real stuff of my life.
I love it, sister. As it's coming up. Wow. In real time. And I call it talking to Jesus. Remember? And it is. It's like, entering into. Here about this, but like, we can talk to Him. He is. He's a person. And not just any person, but the Savior of the world. He's the Prince of Peace. He's ready to reign over our storms. He's Wonder Counselor. He's ready to speak a wise word that resolves our crisis. He's Father Forever. He's ready to father you where you feel abandoned or unlovable. You know, He is. And these aren't just like, you know, flaky titles. Their promises. It's the gospel truth. So, it's like leaning into that, actually. And I would say, I've got like, if I broke it down, I probably have like five steps.
I'd love to hear. Here we go.
So, it's like, first, it's like, to stop. To like, slow down. And as you were saying, be real. And slowing down to be real with your stuff. But also to be real with the fact that you have someone you can depend on. And acknowledging that someone, which is Jesus Christ. Acknowledge that gaze of love on you. Acknowledge Jesus's presence with you. And even if you don't feel it, to make an act of faith in it. Like, You're with me, Jesus. And He is. He is. So, it's like, first, stop. Okay. Take a miracle minute. Because I think the reality too is, if we don't let love deal with our stuff, we're gonna let something else do all their stuff, right? And I mean, whatever that might be, whether it's Netflix or Cheez-Its or chocolate or whatever the list could go on. It's not ultimately gonna cut it, you know? It's kind of like fat-free ice cream. Oh, just doesn't cut it. It's a lie. It's a lie.
I know. The same people tease our hurts. Need love. My hurts have been made for throughout God. Yeah. And that love. Yeah. And so we need love in our stuff. And that's the way it's really gonna resolve. And it's really gonna find the peace that we desire, the new life we desire.
Totally. And we know, and when we've been given a counterfeit, actually. We know when we've settled for a counterfeit. We do. We do, don't we? Honest.
So, here we go. I digress. Step number one: Acknowledge that presence. Put yourself in the presence of the Lord. Step number two is to actually like, describe to Jesus. So, you're talking to Him, not to yourself. So, it's not me talking to myself about my stuff. It's me talking to Jesus about my stuff. A huge difference. Little shift. Yeah. Big difference. But how easy to do, talk to yourself about your stuff?
I think it's our good. It's basically our reflex unless we're intentional. Yeah. And I think that's good to be real with. Yeah. So, describe to Jesus what's going on. Being totally yourself. Totally real. Use your own language. Don't make stuff up. Just tell Him freely. If you're angry, tell Him angry. What you think, what you feel, what you desire, what do you want, what do you need? You know, are you suffering a broken heart? Are you having an adult temper tantrum? I think everyone knows what those are. Are you frustrated at work? Like, literally empty the bucket and tell Him. We need that. We need a language for the real stuff of our lives.
Yeah. Just seeing that, sister, it's like, that gets permission. Because I think a lot of people feel like we have to approach God kind of all put together, cleaned up, and, you know, in a pious holy card kind of way. But it's, you're saying, be yourself.
Yeah. That's who God wants. He's not afraid of your mess. You're not afraid of your junk. Exactly. Be yourself. Exactly. And we're not trying to impress Him, actually. We can't. Because He already loves us infinitely. Oh. Anyway. I know. I'm just really, I'm really, sister. I'm so glad you said it. Because in a sense, that's exactly where He wants to meet us. Is exactly where we are. Mm-hmm. And trying to be somewhere else isn't gonna help. Yeah. It's actually saying, Jesus, wave that white flag and get Him into wherever you are. Yeah. Start there. I love that. And it's like, talking real voice, like you. Because it's like, we all like that phone voice. You know, ditch the phone voice. Let it talk with your real voice. To do those. Amen. Yeah. I think that's huge. There it is. Yeah. Step number two. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I believe in it.
Step number three is what you are speaking of, sister. It's like, turn it over to Jesus. Like, you have to make an act of abandonment or surrender. You have to let it go. The Italian way of saying it, *lascialo andare*. Let it go. Sometimes I don't speak Italian, but I speak that. It's okay. And it helps. *Lascialo andare*. Let it go. Let it go. Trust God with it. Like, really turn it over to Him. Step number three. Mm-hmm. So, you just turn it over. About that. Let it go.
Step number four. Now, I'm gonna like, I've talked. Okay. I've said my piece. And now I'm gonna listen. And I'm gonna ask Jesus, what do You think about this? Hmm. I'm really gonna quiet myself and listen. And give Him a chance to reveal His wisdom, His thought. Hmm. You know, what does He see? That's a really revolutionary, too, sister. Because it's like, I think often we can get in this illusion, perhaps, that Jesus is not really interested in us somehow, or like, not interested in the details of our life. But actually, that, that actually asking Him, what do You think about this? It's like, wow, He's thinking about me. He really cares about what I care about. He, what matters to me is important to Him. Hmm. And for me, just hearing what you're saying, it, it almost shifts an understanding of how God looks at me. Hmm. Which is, I think, really, really powerful.
Is so powerful. Yeah. Well, it reminds me of something I heard. I think Bishop Barron said it. It's like, prayer, and even like asking this question, it enables us to simply listen to what God the Father and the Son are saying about us. That they care. That we, our life is embedded in there. And their life is. Not sending through our baptism. And it's just to listen. What are the Father and the Son saying about it? How are they seeking to love? I send the Holy Spirit to be with us in that moment. Yeah. What does He think? What was He thinking? And He's so honored. He's honored by that. Yeah.
Then number, number five. I, you're gonna ask Jesus, what are You gonna do about this? What are You gonna do about it? And you're gonna think, I'm ahead of time, because He will act. He will act. There is no way if you have invited Him in. It's irresistible to Him. If you are a miserable mess, and that's all it's like, you're turning that over to Him. BAM. That's like magnetic. His love descends into that. So, it's like asking, what do You, what are You to do about this, Jesus? Like, what's Your word to me here? How do You want to bless me, love me, right here? And He's creative. He goes outside the box. Like, and that's where you have to give Him space. Yeah. To be who He is, which is the King of the Universe. All right. He is going to act. He's gonna answer. If we give Him this chance. And I will tell you, sister, if for a week, even just for a week, this is a reflex that you actually have to train within yourself. Actually, because we have ways that we might move contrary to this if we left unchecked. If we are intentional about this. So, if you for a week, just practice telling Jesus, in the most direct, deliberate way that you can, everything that comes up, thoughts, feelings, especially the stuff that's confusing or painful or whatever, it will transform your life. And you will never go back. You'll never go back. Because what you're going to experience is love with you. Mm-hmm. Like the power of love being greater than anything. The desire of love to to divinize. Like, that's the reality. Like, how God wants to do. And I know we've said this, is to be with us. Yeah. In every moment, in everything. The, the bad, the ugly. And it's actually letting God prove that. Yeah. And I think, and doing this, it's like, we can actually begin to believe it. Like, oh my gosh, He must be with me in this place that I've been ashamed of for years. And actually, He loves me there. Amen. It's amazing. It's like Saint Thérèse said, like, she said, you know what? God misses a rough quote, but what God wants to do, He must do it to our nothingness and transform that nothingness into fire. So beautiful. It's amazing.
Sister, could you, could you just list in like, bullet point, just two people? I just want, I want everyone to hear this. I can, boom, boom, boom. One through five. Is basically acknowledge Jesus's presence. You look up in faith. You let His look of love fall upon you. Two, you're gonna describe to Jesus what's going on, being totally real. Three, you're gonna turn it over. You're gonna let it go. Surrender it. Four, you're gonna ask Jesus what He thinks. Five, you're gonna ask Him what He's gonna do about it. And you're gonna think, aim ahead of time.
I love it. Okay. It's just good to hear, like, all at the same time, concise. Yeah. It's awesome. But you did bring him another point, which I do want to ask, is like, what, like, what can we bring Jesus? Mm-hmm. Like, when you're, when we talk about stuff, and we could all know what that means. Like, I got stuff. You're like, um, yep. We don't know what it means. But like, what does it mean, basically? Yeah. Like, what can we tell Jesus about?
Yeah. I can tell Jesus about, like, I don't know, my fears about the future. Yeah. Maybe regrets about the past that are still chasing me. Fears. Tell me about them. Yeah. Yeah. I think worries, sufferings, you know. Mm-hmm. Where sometimes hesitate to tell Jesus, like, why I was suffering this thing. Things that, like, you know, habitual sins. Things I don't like about myself. Kind of the core wounds in my heart, you know? Those those big wounds that keep tripping me up or keep flaring in conversations or just in life's adventures. Financial problems. Yeah. You know, kind of lack of strength to do something we know we need to do and we can't seem to quite do it. You know, painful memories. Yep. You know, that kind of are just always there. Mm-hmm. Bubbling up. We desire maybe Jesus to bring new meaning into. Yeah. You know, yeah, new life into. Even just ways that I believe I'm not good. Mm-hmm. Or like things that I let define me that it's a definition that falls for our beneath that of what God would impose. I mean, even, I mean, it kind of seems not trivial, but it's like, even even little things like that sometimes. It's like, we feel like, sheep is like, I couldn't bring this to God, the universe. You know, I've often heard people say many times, like, oh, He doesn't have time to listen to me. He's busy listening to the whole world. So, God is for you. Yeah. He, His whole being. It's like, I think there's an image I've heard once of it was like, the sun shines on on everything. And it shines completely on the dandy lion as much as it doesn't at all oak. You know, it totally encompasses it. But even things like, gosh, I gained a couple pounds and it's really making me sad. It's like, you know what? Jesus wants to hear about that. Yeah. And to be honest. You know, yeah. Anyone to speak into that. He does. He cares. He really cares. He does. And, and He wants to be with us, like you said. Mm-hmm. And He's already there, actually. He is with us. And it's like, it's almost like opening our eyes, like, oh my gosh, You were with me the whole time. You know? Amen. Yeah. I think we can also talk about joys. Things that we're proud of. Graces we finally were able to claim or receive. Yeah. Blessings we're experiencing. Relationships. Yeah. Troubles that we're experiencing in relationships. Yeah. There's always plenty of that. Yeah. And big and little blessings, you know, like, I got a new haircut and I look fabulous. But really, like, it seems like little, but bring it to Him. He wants to hear about it. Amen. You know? You know, we might think like, you know, sister, like, this is where I'm at. Basically, the most I could say is, Jesus, you know, I feel really lame. I feel like I used to get life, and it's actually really hard to bring myself in faith to You. And I would say, perfect start right there. Wherever you are. Or might be like, I'm so tired, Jesus. Like, I don't even have the energy. Like, I want to be with You, but I want to receive Your love. I don't know how. Start right there. Right there. Tell Jesus that. Yeah. What are You gonna do about that, Jesus? Yeah. You know, like, I can't keep my eyes open. It's kind of the fail-proof. It's discouragement-free. There's talking to Jesus. There's always hope. Yeah. Because you're talking to Jesus, right? And He has the power. He has the grace. He has the gift to give you. And it's just us being real that we're poor. Yeah. No, we need His help. It's true. And actually, one thing I just wanted to say before we, before we end, a priest recently said, he said, you know, the people that we hear about in the scriptures, like, we, we don't ever hear what the people who kind of just saw Jesus and walked on by. Hmm. We don't hear about them. We hear what the people who had a need, who needed help, and went to Jesus. That's we read about 2,000 years later. Wow. I'm like, amen. And they got the miracle. They got the miracle. And so, it's like, let's be poor. That's, let's, you know, let's be beggars. You know, let's go to Jesus. It's good. Actually. Sister. It's awesome. Yeah.
Well, gosh, before we go, you know, I think I would just like to recommend everything we've been talking about. I recommend you do a one-week challenge, actually. Bring it. But to try this. To try actually bringing your stuff to Jesus. Mm-hmm. I know, I guess we're just reiterating what we've said the whole time, but just try it for a week.
Love it, sister. I don't know. I mean, I'm probably still what you're gonna say.
No, I think that's perfect. Yeah. And I think I would only say again, wherever you are at right now, in this moment, I'm gonna start right there. Mm-hmm. Invite Jesus to be with you. Tell Jesus about where you are right now, no matter how poor and ugly or whatever, or how glorious and wonderful it is. It's like, just be real. Be where you are. And talk to Jesus. Yeah. And it's awesome. Yeah. It'll change your life. It does. It actually does. I love that, sister.
Well, sister, you want to close this with a prayer?
I would be honored. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Jesus, thank You so much for this time, this conversation, Lord. We just ask You to help us, Lord. Help us to come to You in everything. Help us never to be afraid to come to You. Help us to be real with everything going on in our hearts, our life, our relationships. And give us the strength, Lord, to to fall into Your arms and to admit, yeah, I can't do it. She says, I need You. We entrust ourselves, Lord, to You and all those who have entrusted their purse to us. And we give You glory as we pray. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Holy Spirit. God bless all of you. We're praying for you. God bless you. Next time.
