How to Live with Uncertainty

Ойын-сауық

Mother Clare and Fr. Mark-Mary discuss how to live with uncertainty. Being uncertain about something isn’t entirely problematic, because uncertainty requires that we trust something or someone. Often we put that trust in empirical research, the scientific method, tried and true procedures, and so on. How often do we put our trust in God when we are uncertain about something, though.
Sometimes trusting God requires letting go of our trust in ourselves. When Peter was invited by Jesus to walk onto the water, Peter had to let go of his understanding of reality. His uncertainty got the best of him after just a few steps, but perhaps there is a lesson in that as well. We often want God to give us the grace and certainty needed for several steps ahead, but he only gives us certainty in our next step so we have to trust each step we take. God gives you sufficient grace for today, not tomorrow, next week or fifty years from now.

    I'm so glad that this video came up the right time. I've been so confused lately, literally living in uncertainty every second of my life. It's really difficult for me to come out of this even though I try hard. It's almost 4 months or more now. I feel so stuck right now. Please pray for me. I'll start to put my trust in the GOD even more now than I used to do before.

    Just give it one moment at a time, one day at a time and then you can always see if you can go spend a couple weeks with a religious order. After that you can see if you want more time to be there. One little step at a time. Time fly’s by and before you know it a year is gone and you will know what you want to do next.

I feel like I'm just a problem, economically speaking, for my family, since I've not found my dream job yet. And now I'm questioning every choice i made, and the ones i have to make.

    if you are low on money shop at the dollar tree.......their food isn't so bad for being under a dollar. There are videos on youtube of people living on a couple dollars a week while shopping at places like the dollar tree. There is also EBT which is when the state gives you money for food......like 300 per month i think. Um.....invest in stocks if you can(you gotta be smart though, ask God to help you pick the right stocks)......those are passive ways to make money......like for example i put like 200 in a stock a few years ago.....now its like 3000.......so if anything, you will be fine but I will pray for you as well. Go to church when you can as well....to me it always makes things feel better for me. Good luck.

    I find it difficult sometimes to release everything to God, then take up "my cross" and walk each day. As many things in life such as bills and deadlines constantly loom over us all, and other worldly difficulties make themselves apparent, to rely solely on "God's timing" can be a real test of faith. It has been for me. What is God's path for me? Am I following it, or lost the trail long ago? I'm sure I'm not the first or last to ponder such things. I pray, as I'm sure we all do, that we are constantly being looked upon by God, his Angels, the many Saints, and Mother Mary despite our personal difficulties. May they intercede in our daily lives, and help us to make the right decisions. The best quote I have heard this year was "keep your rosary warm".

    To overcome fear and uncertainty we must work on Faith and Trust in god. The best way is to pray, attend mass as often as possible and go to adoration. Ever since I've been doing these three components of my catholic mission I've never felt more peace and certainty. Do not see our body is ours but our bodies are for God.

    Mostly a decision and then I think the more things you trust God through then trust becomes more "natural" (for lack of a better term) and then come across as easy for you or what one might see as a gift to have. I don't think God gives people the ability to trust more than he does to others, but I could be wrong. I do believe he gives all of us the opportunities to grow in that trust though. I do know trust in him does bring actual gifts too!

    There’s a charismatic song that goes “ if fears comes knocking at my door say no, no, no Christ lives in me, there’s no room for thee. I turned it into a jaculatoria for other feelings, too
