Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled or Afraid, Providence Podcast Episode
/In our Gospel reading, Jesus offers his disciples peace and tells them, “Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid.” That sounds nice, but can people really keep emotions like fear or worry from entering our hearts? And how is God with us when we do experience strong feelings?
For Reflection:
If you take a moment to go inward a little, what do you notice about how you’re feeling. What is the state of your heart now?
When your heart is troubled or afraid, how do you deal with that? How do you pray through that? Do you pray through that? And how is God with you?
Maybe you could spend some quiet time with God and allow God to speak to your heart, seeing what emerges and what God has to say.
