Did you wake up this morning wondering,
0:04
God, are you really with me?
0:08
Perhaps you've been praying for a job,
0:11
but nothing has changed.
0:14
You've been asking for healing, but the
0:18
illness still remains.
0:20
You've worked hard, yet your business is
0:23
is struggling
0:25
from the word go. You've prayed for your
0:28
family, but the problems seem to be
0:31
getting worse.
0:33
If that's you,
0:35
and if that is how you feel today, you
0:38
are not alone, my friend.
0:41
Well, um, welcome to today's daily dose
0:44
of motivation, inspiration, and
0:47
encouragement. Um, today is the feast of
0:51
St. Thomas the Apostro. Uh you can get
0:55
today's uh Catholic uh daily mass
0:57
readings
0:59
uh from our website. Our website is

1:04
I have put the link in the description.
1:07
So are you feeling a lot of doubt in
1:10
life? If that's how you feel today, you
1:14
are not alone.
1:17
Even Thomas the Apostle of Jesus
1:20
struggled with doubt.
1:22
Uh when the other disciples told him, uh
1:26
Thomas, we have seen the Lord, Thomas
1:30
refused to believe. He wanted proof. He
1:34
wanted to see and touch before he could
1:36
trust.
1:38
How often are we like Thomas? We say,
1:41
"God, if you answer this prayer, then I
1:45
will believe. If you give me this job,
1:48
then I will trust you. If you feel if
1:52
you heal my love my beloved one who is
1:55
sick then I'll know you are with me. But
1:59
faith does not begin where the answers
2:02
are visible.
2:04
Faith begins where trust overcomes
2:07
uncertainity.
2:10
Eight days later Jesus appeared to
2:12
Thomas. He did not condemn him. He
2:15
lovingly invited and told him, "Put your
2:19
fingers here. Stop doubting and
2:22
believe."
2:24
Thomas fell to his knees and declared,
2:27
"My Lord and my God."
2:30
Then Jesus spoke the words meant for you
2:33
and me.
2:35
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have
2:38
not seen and yet have believed."
2:43
Maybe you cannot see how God is working
2:46
in your life.
2:48
But know this, every breath you take
2:51
today is a sign of his divine
2:54
providence. The strength to keep you
2:57
going is his gift. The opportunities
3:01
before you are his gift.
3:04
Even the trials that shape your
3:07
character can become instruments of his
3:11
grace.
3:13
Therefore,
3:14
don't let today's unanswered questions
3:17
become tomorrow's lost feed. My friend,
3:22
trust God even when you cannot trace his
3:26
hand because God's providence is often
3:29
working behind the scenes long before
3:33
you recognize it.
3:36
Therefore, do not be doubtful of God's
3:40
presence and providence. God knows what
3:43
you need and is only waiting for you to
3:46
ask it.
3:48
So, in the comment section, type amen
3:52
and it will be given unto you. So, in
3:56
conclusion, like always, I will never
3:59
stop insisting that before the end of
4:02
every day, make sure that you do your
4:05
work. so well that at least one person
4:07
you encounter says to you, "Thank you."
4:11
And may the God you worship be praised
4:13
and glorified. And also never forget to
4:17
attribute all your success to God. Never
4:20
say it is from your sole effort, but say
4:24
it's from the strength and providence
4:27
that God gives you. Well, subscribe to
