Even when we make mistakes, God still loves us 💗. Say sorry, try again, and trust His love 🌤️. He’s always ready to help us start new 🌱. Based on the Word of Life (March 1993) by Chiara Lubich
🛐 Prayer to Trust God
Dear God, You never stop loving us. Sorry for our wrong choices. Thank You for always forgiving us. Please help us stay humble and trust in You. Amen.
In her silence, Saint Elizabeth found what many forget: God still moves in lives that keep believing.
Elizabeth’s story is about silent faith that waited a lifetime. She was already old when an angel said she would have a son who’d prepare the way for the Lord. That son was John the Baptist. But long before his birth, Elizabeth had already been living what faith truly means—trusting even when years passed without answers.
When do we find ourselves waiting like Elizabeth?
There are times when life feels stuck—when we keep hoping and praying but nothing happens. Elizabeth knew that kind of silence. She and her husband Zachariah waited many years for a child. Still, she stayed faithful and did what was right. Then, when everyone thought it was too late, God finally answered. Sometimes the waiting itself prepares our hearts.
Can we be happy for others the way Elizabeth was for Mary?
When Mary visited, Jesus was already growing inside her womb. Elizabeth felt her own baby move with joy and blessed her cousin with a full heart. It was a meeting filled with peace and gratitude—two lives touched by the same promise of God.
Do we notice God’s hand in the quiet parts of our life?
Saint Elizabeth didn’t see signs in the sky. She found them in everyday grace—a prayer whispered in faith, Mary’s visit, the life forming within her. Faith deepens when we start seeing God in ordinary days.
Saint Elizabeth’s story shows how God works in ways we don’t expect. Her life reminds us that faith is not just believing in miracles—it’s living in a way that makes room for them.
