Why do you get confused by getting excited?
Leave the care of your things to me and everything will calm down. In truth I tell you that every act of true, rich and complete abandonment in me produces the effect you desire and resolves thorny situations. To abandon oneself to me does not mean to get upset, upset and desperate, then turning to me an agitated prayer for me to follow you, it is to change the agitation in prayer. To abandon oneself means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away the thought of tribulation and to return to me so that only I work, saying: "think about it". Against abandonment: worry, agitation and wanting to think about the consequences of a fact.
It is like the confusion that the children bring, who expect the mother to think about their needs and they want to think about it, hindering her work with their ideas and their childish feelings.
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried by the current of my grace, close your eyes and let me work, close your eyes and think about the present moment, turning thought away from the future as if by a temptation. Rest in me by believing in my goodness and I swear by my love that, by saying to me, with these dispositions "think about it", I think about it in full, I console you, I free you, I lead you. And when I have to take you in a different way from the one you want, I train you, I carry you in my arms, I let you find me, as babies asleep in my mother's arms, on the other shore.
What upsets you and hurts you immensely is your thought, your hassle and your will at any cost to provide for you what afflicts you.
How many things I work when the soul, both in its spiritual and material needs, turns to me saying "think about it", closes its eyes and rests!
You have few graces when you pester yourself to produce them, you have many when prayer is full entrustment to me.
You pray in pain not because I work, but because I work as you believe ... Do not turn to me, but you want me to adapt to your ideas, you are not sick who ask the doctor for treatment, but they suggest it to him.
Do not do this, but pray as I taught you in the Pater: "hallowed be your name", that is, be glorified in this necessity of mine, "let your kingdom come", that is, all contribute to your kingdom in us and in the world, "both done Your will as in heaven so on earth ”, that is, you place yourself in this need as best you like for our eternal and temporal life.
If you really tell me "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying "think about it", I intervene with all my omnipotence and solve the most closed situations.
Do you realize that the disease is pressing instead of decaying? Don't get upset, close your eyes and tell me with confidence: "Thy will be done, think about it!". I tell you that I think about it and that I intervene as a doctor and also perform a miracle when necessary. Do you see that the situation worsens? Don't get upset, close your eyes and repeat: "Think about it!". I tell you that I think about it and that there is no medicine more powerful than my love intervention. I only think about it when you close your eyes
You are insomniac, you want to evaluate everything, to scrutinize everything, to think everything and thus abandon yourself to human forces or worse to men, trusting in their intervention. This is what hinders my words and my views. Oh, how I desire this abandonment from you in order to benefit you and how grieved I am to see you agitated!
Satan tends precisely to this: to agitate you to withdraw from my action and throw you in the grip of human initiatives: therefore trust in me alone, rest in me, abandon yourself to me in everything. I do miracles in proportion to the full abandonment in me and the no thought of you. I spread treasures of grace when you are in full poverty. If you have your resources, even if only a little, or if you are looking for them, you are in the natural field and therefore follow the natural path of things that is often hindered by Satan. No reasoner has worked miracles, not even among the saints. Whoever abandons himself in God divinely works.
When you see that things get complicated, say with your eyes closed: "Jesus think about it!". Do this for all your needs. Do this all of you and you will see the great, continuous and silent miracles. I swear to you for my love!
