Jesus, I trust in you: help me!

It’s easy to say “Jesus, I trust in you” when things are going well in our lives. But what when we’re facing difficulties or going through challenging times? In those moments, it can be hard to keep our faith and fully trust in Jesus. However, it’s precisely during those tough times that we need to turn to Him even more and ask for His help.

Trusting in Jesus means having faith in His love and His plan for us. It means letting go of our fears and worries about the future and giving them over to Him. It’s not always a simple task, but it’s a necessary one if we want to grow in our relationship with Him.

The phrase “Jesus, I trust in you” comes from the image of Divine Mercy, which was revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s. In the image, Jesus stands with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing and his left hand touching His Sacred Heart. From His heart, two rays of light emanate – one red and one white. The red stands for the blood that He shed for us on the , while the white represents the water that flowed from His side when He was pierced by the soldier’s spear.

Saint Faustina was instructed to spread devotion to the Divine Mercy, telling others to trust in Jesus and His mercy. Even in the darkest of times, she was reminded that Jesus was always with her, and she could turn to Him in complete confidence.

Trusting in Jesus doesn’t mean that our problems will go away. It means that we have faith that He’s with us through it all and that He’ll help us find a way forward, no matter what. We don’t have to tackle our challenges alone – we have a God who loves us and cares for us.

Sometimes, all it takes is a simple prayer to remind us of Jesus’ presence in our lives. When we’re feeling overwhelmed or lost, we can turn to Him and say, “Jesus, I trust in you.” We can say it with faith and confidence, knowing that He hears us and cares for us.

Trusting in Jesus also means being open to His will. Sometimes, we may not understand why we’re going through a particular trial or challenge. But we can trust that God’s plan is bigger than ours, and He will use our struggles for His good. If we’re willing to surrender our will to His, we’ll find peace and comfort in knowing that He’s in control.

At times, our trust in Jesus may be tested. We may feel like He’s not listening or that He’s not helping us in the way we want or expect. But even when we don’t feel His presence, we can cling to our faith and trust that He’s working behind the scenes. We may not see the fruits of His labor right away, but eventually, we’ll be able to see how He was with us every step of the way.

In conclusion, trusting in Jesus is essential. We may face difficult times and enter into struggles, but we must never lose our faith, remember His teachings and pray for His mercy. We ought to trust that there is always hope for the future, and with Him, all things are possible. When we say, “Jesus, I trust in you,” let us mean it with our hearts and believe that, indeed, we are not alone and that He hears our all the time.
