O Infant Jesus, I come to You, seeking You to save me. I am in great need for your miraculous help in pressing financial situation that I am going through currently. I do not seek a large sum of money or trouble you for unneeded comforts or luxuries.

I love You, Jesus, I am painfully sorry for my sins and I beg You, and to set me free from them. I promise to change, improve myself and to never offend You. I offer myself to You, give me the means to do Your work, and spread Your Love. I have only so much to give, if only I were allowed the chance. Infant Jesus show me Your goodness, and deliver me from my difficulties. Infant Jesus, Mighty and Sweet Child, I offer You all Glory, Praise and Thanksgiving belongs to You. Divine Child Jesus, Infant Jesus, heal me by Your will, extend Your holy hand and by Your power take away all my worries and bestow Your peace upon me today that I may have eternal joy with You, Mary, Your Most Holy mother and St. Joseph, Your loving foster father. O Infant Jesus, You who have said, ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, ask and it shall be opened to you.

Solutions

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:34)

Whatever your need is, take it to Him who has all authority in heaven and earth, to Jesus Christ who is Lord of all. Come boldly to His throne of grace to find mercy, grace, and help in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16). You will experience His presence, He will hear and help you!  He doesn't grow tired, He just gives, and gives again. He gives more grace when the burdens grow greater. Lord we thank You for what You have done and are doing today.  

God Your so good, God Your so good to me

 

God will Provide.

Amen.

Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

Do you allow anxiety or fear to keep you from trusting in God's provision for your life? The apostles worried because they forgot to bring bread for their journey. And that was right after Jesus miraculously fed a group of five thousand people (Mark 6:41-44, Matthew 14:17-21), and then on another occasion four thousand people (Mark 8:1-10, Matthew 15:34-38)! How easy it is to forget what God has already done for us and to doubt what he promises to do for us in the future as well. Scripture tells us that "perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). Ask the Lord Jesus to fill your heart with his love and to increase your faith in his provident care for you.

Beware the "leaven" which corrupts mind, body, and soul

Jesus cautioned the disciples to beware of bread that corrupts, such as the "leaven of the Pharisees." When leaven ferments a lump of wet dough, it transforms the dough and changes it into life-enriching bread when heated. Left-over dough which had been leavened (but not baked) would rot and become putrified. For the Jew leaven was a sign or symbol of evil influence. It signified anything which rots and corrupts, not just physically but spiritually and morally as well.

Jesus warned his disciples to avoid the way of the Pharisees and Sadducees who sought their own counsels rather than the mind of God. They were blinded by their own arrogance and were unable to recognize the truth and wisdom which Jesus spoke in the name of his Father in heaven. What kind of leaven (spiritual, moral, intellectual) do you allow to influence your way of thinking and living? Jesus sharply contrasts the bread and leaven which produces life, especially the abundant life which God offers through Jesus, the true bread of heaven, with the bread and leaven which rots and corrupts mind, body, and soul.

Let God's word nourish and strengthen you in faith, hope, and love

As the disciples continued to worry about their lack of physical bread for the journey, Jesus reminded them of his miraculous provision of bread in the feeding of the five thousand and the four thousand. He then upbraided them for their lack of trust in God. Aren't we like the apostles? We too easily get preoccupied with the problems, needs, and worries of the present moment, and we forget the most important reality of all - God's abiding presence with us!

When the people of Israel wandered in the desert homeless and helpless for forty years, God was with them every step of the way. And he provided for them shelter, food, water, and provision, as long as they trusted in him. Each day he gave them just what they needed. Jesus teaches us to trust in God's abiding presence with us and in his promise to provide us what we need each and every day to live as his sons and daughters. Do you pray with joyful confidence, "Father, give us this day our daily bread"?

Lord Jesus, you alone are the true bread of life which sustains us each and every day. Give me joy and strength to serve you always and help me to turn away from the leaven of sin and worldliness which brings corruption and death.
