This is what God asks

Last week during evening prayer I was struck by one of the antiphons, which made me realize just how much more complicated I make my life than I need to.

"This is what God asks of you: Trust in the One whom He has sent."

I read it, and was like "duh, of course that's what God asks." But then I thought about it a little bit, and it was as though something clicked in my head and heart. It's actually that simple. I just have to trust.

Of course, this implies that I know the One whom God has sent, which means I need to be praying and listening to what God is asking of me. And that is where the trick lies . . .
