NOVENA OF TRUST - Day Nineteen

"That You are with me in my suffering.
Jesus, I trust in You."

Yesterday on the news they were showing the results of a poll done around people's stress levels heading into Election Day.

It showed that 61% of millennials (those born between 1981-1994/96) said they were stressed, compared to only 32% of baby boomers (those born between 1946-1964).

It left me wondering, is the stress level of the millennials a result of the fact that 4 in 10 will say that they are "religiously unaffiliated"?

No God, No Peace
Know God, Know Peace

I can say that my heart is heavy today - we are a nation suffering. As always, the Lord sends along Scripture that helps calm the storm and renew the peace. Here is the Prophet Isaiah from today's Morning Prayer - Prayer of the Day:

"Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith. A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock."

We are a country suffering, on many levels. May we pray today to be peace in our little part of the country and may that peace spread to all corners!

Lord, for the United States of America, we pray!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.
Jesus, I trust in You.
