“If you had a little faith, almost everything would change, and if you had a little humility, the Grace of God would be with you.
Reflection:
Do we trust in God? Are we deeply confident that He will reveal what is best for us as we continue to do our part?
While we may have faith in God and know He is with us, sometimes we are prideful and think that we accomplish things on our own. Our pride tells us that our success is only because of our efforts, forgetting that Christ our savior and creator is responsible for all of our abilities and potential to succeed.
When we think with pride, we end up like the Pharisee in the parable(1), thanking ourselves in prayer (praying to ourselves!) for what we have accomplished, instead of recognizing our dependence on God: asking for His help, His mercy, and thanking Him for all He has revealed to us.
Let us build our confidence in God by asking Him for humility to recognize that we cannot fully succeed on our own and the revelation of His Will in everything we do.
