In God Alone Is Rest for My Soul

We may not perhaps quite realise what trusting to God on the human journey means.

This trust is in fact the most radical leap of all.
The Psalm says:
'Whoever trusts in the Lord is like Mount Zion, unshakable, firm-set for ever' (Ps. 125:1).
And that's true, absolutely true.
Trust casts out fear, makes faith easier, gives a thrust to hope.
Trust in God helps you to feel near him, to see him as the solution to all problems, even the most abstruse.
Trust is the greatest joy in our relationship with God.
Whoever, trusts in God has already covered the hardest part of the journey.
He is now in sight of Jericho; victory is at hand.
A victory filled with delight and boundless love.
God, you are my God, I can count on you.

From Journey Without End by Carlo Carretto
