If You Want It, Lord, We Want It Too • Mon.04.20.26

Trust begins where control ends. Welcoming God’s will means welcoming the One who holds our life.

We often want life to go our own way.

But trusting God means believing that His will is not against us. It is for our good.

When we welcome His will, we welcome Him.

Today, we accept one thing we would not normally choose and place it in God’s hands with trust.

Based on the Word of Life, December 2002, by Chiara Lubich, Servant of God.

✝️ Prayer to Welcome God’s Will

Father, teach us to trust Your will with our whole heart. Help us say yes to You, even when it costs us something. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

The Yes.

One quiet “yes” changed everything—and it still echoes in the choices we make today.

Annunciation of the Lord • March 25

There was no crowd, no stage, no build-up. Just a quiet moment, a young woman, and a message that would change everything.

The Annunciation of the Lord remembers the moment when the angel Gabriel came to Mary and told her she would bear Jesus, the Son of God. It was not forced or demanded. It was offered.

And her response was simple, but not easy: “Yes.”

That “yes” carried weight. It meant stepping into something unknown, trusting without seeing the full picture, and accepting a path that would change her life completely.

This is where it becomes real for us. We also receive moments like this—not as dramatic, not with angels—but in the choices we face every day. When doing what is right costs something, when staying honest feels harder than hiding, or when saying yes to something good makes us feel unready.

The Annunciation is not just a story from the past. It is a pattern. God invites, and we respond. Sometimes, the biggest changes begin in the quietest “yes.”
