Get Up

"St. Joseph heard "Get up," and his immediate response was to surrender and trust that God was leading him." Sr. Marie Andre, O.C.D. 

I wish that was my response to the words, "Get up."

In all seriousness though, St. Joseph was a man of faith. 

He did not question God's plan, like I often do. 

Rather he got up the courage to trust and to surrender. 

I need to work on my immediate response to respond as St. Joseph did. 

My prayer is to trust and to allow God to lead me. 

St. Joseph, help me find courage to "get up" and to listen for God's voice.

Amen. 

"St. Joseph has the power to assist us in all causes, in every necessity, in every undertaking." St. Thomas Aquinas
