Hello, everyone, and Happy New Year! I‘m Sr. Vassa, and this is just a short Coffee Break. Today,
0:12
zillions, I‘d like to reflect with you, briefly, on a phrase I heard my sister say
0:19
recently, that probably you've heard before, but I've never heard it before:
0:23
"Let go and let God". Now, I thought to myself when she said that,
0:29
that's, actually, a very good New Year‘s resolution.
0:32
If there are uncontrollable situations in our lives right now, uncontrollable people
0:38
– and hopefully, we realize that we have uncontrollable people in our lives,
0:43
because we should neither believe that we control people,
0:47
nor seek to control them. Because, if you do want
0:52
a relationship you can entirely control, than get a stuffed animal.
0:59
I opted for the stuffed animal, as you see.
1:03
But if we are praying the Lord‘s Prayer and I don't mean just saying it, but deeply praying it,
1:10
on a daily basis saying:
1:12
“Thy kingdom come“ and “Thy will be done“ in a way that sincerely hands over
1:19
into the loving hands of God every situation and every human being in our lives right now
1:25
– then we will find, zillions, that our self-imposed burden of needing to control everything will
1:32
be lightened. We will feel that we fall, so to say, into the safety-net that is God‘s
1:39
grace. And it‘s always there, you know, but we need to really pray for it, in order
1:44
to open ourselves up to it.
1:47
Because God does not impose Himself upon us.
1:51
He did not, after all, create us to be puppets or robots. He created us to learn and stretch
1:58
toward His sunlight, which is grace, so that we can grow. Because this divine energy that
2:05
we call grace is what helps us, what keeps us on a daily basis on track,
2:12
and what, ultimately, saves us.
2:15
As we repeatedly say in the words of Byzantine liturgical services, “Help us, save us, have mercy
2:22
on us, and keep us, O God, by Your grace.“ So let‘s stretch toward the sun-light today,
2:30
zillions, letting go and letting God, in prayer. But I have to let all of you go for now,
2:38
and I hope to see you next time!
