Thank you. I have failed and failed again this week. Family car totaled Sunday by a hit and run. I broke my tooth badly. Had a fight with my older sister over a family matter. Rental car has been problematic. Been at odds with the sister I live life with. I am behaving hard and ugly, because my heart has been scared and so angry. Thank you for these words, Father. I surrender to our Lord.
It's true Father, i noticed when i try to fix something by myself and i want it to change quick the solution doesn't remain for long. I end up in a cycle of trying and trying again from square one. But when i surrender it to the Lord and say "Lord , this is the problem... These are my wounds. I surrender them to you Jesus for healing." Next thing i know, a gradual process starts. Slowly but surely so many graces are given. The solution is lasting and the spiritual wounds heal without reoccurring again. God's Timing, Will & Way is the best. He knows best. I love you & I trust you Jesus. 🙏🏾
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Bishop Mar Mari talks about how when we try, we fail every time because we are relying on our own flawed strength, while His strength, Jesus's strength is Perfect. ❤
For some of us, we are given the gift of desperation. We are not allowed to win at what we think matters. We find ourselves flat on our faces, in the mud, failing or failed. And then, someone or something comes along and says, “Fantastic! Try this - let go. No really, let go.” And it begins to work. Just a little at a time (or one day, as some terrific folks will tell you) at a time. So you do it again. Then you do it more (hopefully with a friend who’s done it for awhile). The gift of desperation. That’s where it starts. It can be a good thing, if you let it.
As a recovering alcoholic of 32 years you speak to my addict mind. Thank you so, so much. Steps 1, 2, & 3…I can’t, He can, and I’m going to let Him. ❤ 🙏
Oh man, this makes me laugh because it is TOTALLY who I am "Hey, oh, sure, I trust you Lord, BUT just let's just do it my way!! My own way will honestly just be easier than Yours -- of course I trust You, truly, BUT I just want to get this finished, my way will be easier/faster/makes more sense" Letting Him be in control is just a struggle for me.
hi father our lord god needs every night and day prayer so powerful thank you father in my prayers god bless you divine mercy i trust in you take care of everything amen
Thank you, Father! I heard Father Mark Goring recently say, "Don't tell God you have a big problem. Tell your problem that you have a big God!" I thought that was delightful, and in this context, I thought that you might enjoy. ~Deb :)
I needed to hear this so much today. Childlessness is causing me so much distress, I just started crying again today because I felt that I wouldn't even deserve being a mother. My husband has to get injection and I'm looking every day for ways how I can 'fix' my cycle and feel just as If we're broken. Is God really caring about me? I asked him for help and protection, for patience and healing. I will do my best to stop 'trying' and 'fixing' so much and give it into his hands.
Shout out to all the people who "let go" and nothing happened. Its really nice to just give it to God, but for most of us we actually need to put in work to change. A good example is being in an abusive relationship. Just giving it to God and sitting back wont change anything, it just wont. Same with bwing an addict, you have to put in the work. And with the work of change comes worry and stress. Free will is a real thing, action is often needed.
Yes this makes so much sense. I think maybe for me I have to put work into things but I can surrender the outcome. I can get demoralized quick when my hard work doesn't get the results I wanted as quickly as I wanted, but if I give it to the Lord then my hard work will pay off at the right time. As a fixer I want to fix everything as fast as I can because everything feels like an emergency, but maybe God wants to work it out with me slowly one step at a time.
@redhead911126 there's a both/and that's needed I think. I struggle with relying too much on myself and not enough on God. But there's definitely an opposite and I've been there too - just praying about it and being like "well I prayed and it didn't go away so I guess I'm stuck"
@@redhead911126 this is such a helpful way to put it, "surrender the outcome." So many of us, including me can go crazy thinking we see signs ir think we're missing signs and then end up waiting for signs. I think we sometimes have to take action, pray and say I hope He'll help me thru this if it's a mistake.
Father says this very thing. That he still needed to do his work, put in his effort. But it is the fear, the anxiety, the belief that somehow we can, and must, control everything, that we surrender to God.
I think you said it best Fr. : To work on the prayer, the relationship and the surrendering (trust) is what I get to work on. its only then we can see him at work in our daily life and the world Jesus help me trust in you fully always!
That is a game changer for the CC as far as i have experienced and have been taught. I have learned what you are talking about - putting down will power and instead yielding to HS! Thank you, Father! This will help the Church grow up!
Thank you I have heard that from GOD several times and it is taking a long time to gradually surrender my addiction. But I also know GOD loves my while I am learning to let go, learning to surrender.
I need to let my Father be my Father & take care of me and those around me. Trust in His will, & learn to hear Him guide me to His ways. I fail, & then refocus on Him, & repeat. I certainly need to hand my life to Him & not hand over the past to others. Persevere to live to surrender to Him. I love the "happy thoughts", which I will now go focus on my much need walk & prayer time
Thank you, thank you Father Columba. I’ve been struggling exactly in this way, for a while and I’m exhausted! Stressed! Almost obsessed w/ it. God truly takes care of us. He knows m struggling and He brought me to this TH-cam video. I watch many of your videos, they are soooo helpful. I’m surrendering it. God bless you
Господи, Помилуй! Господи, Прости! Аминь. Пресвятая Богородица, Приснодева, молим тебя, моли Сына Твоего и Господа Нашего Простить и Помиловать меня и нас и Уберечь нас от бед и несчастий! Аминь. Всех Поздравляю с Праздником Успения Пресвятой Богородицы!
Ya well my mom died 7 weeks ago. Shes all I had. Was living with her while looking for a job. I’m a month away from being homeless. Mom said rosary every night……I’ll update you in a month or two “Gods got this” right
All who call on the name of Jesus shall be saved. You do not need an intermediary, go straight to Him and surrender your heart/life to His leading/care, You will be changed from inside out and things will start opening up to you but some doors will close if they are not His will for you. When you belong to him you no longer live under the curse but under the blessing, that doesn't mean all will be roses and sunshine but He will be with you and give you the way out of temptations and bring you through trials.
Thank you so much, Father. I try to do what I can, but I am also trying to give my problems to God and then WAIT until he shows me the way - whatever that way may be. And it may take time. Waiting is the difficult part for me.
Amen, and thank you SO MUCH!!! A wonderful post. Im a retired teacher, spent decades planning, sorting, trying to fix anything that went awry, trying to have each duck in its row. What a relief, just as you said, to know that i don't have to have the answer that hopefully will fix it. Lord Jesus I trust in you! Whew!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Fr. Columbia. Your short to-the-point spiritual guidance is very helpful. What is amazing is that I find you talking about topics I would discuss with a spiritual director if I had one. God indeed provides. May God bless you always.
This is me right now. I have so many questions and doubts about other religions, beliefs and philosophies I can’t even begin to rekindle a relationship with Christ cause I so desperately want to be “sure”.
My experience is, you only can be sure if you feel how he is holding you. If you look into the abyss of errors, pain, missed opportunities - but you have peace. You feel liked, accepted, and you give the anger about all things (divorce?) to him.
Several times now, I have found myself asking God for wisdom in a certain matter, and then a video of yours will pop up in my feed with the answer. So wonderful! Thank you for sharing God's wisdom! You have spoken straight into the needs in my life on several occasions. Thank you.
Let go and let God. I try to live by these words, but fail miserably most of the time. Even though, I know that God will take care of everything, I find myself stressing over things instead of turning them over to Him. I will keep trying.
It works ! I now just give up the struggle I sometimes have with life ,and living and give it to my Father ,and best friend . I realised that the creator of all that there is ,could deal with my problems in a way I couldn’t. We now walk hand in hand with each other . Let Go , and Let God !! It really works !❤
HA!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! jajaj thank you so much for your beautiful relationship with Jesus and allowing His love and pure compassion flow into my heart
I grew up in a secular/atheist household, and I really struggle with the concept of surrendering things to God. Practically, how do you do that? Have you put out a video about that already?
day by day little by little step by step listen and obey cry out for help pray for help pray the surrender novena. lived experience pray to ask what area you should be surrendering trust the process
Do your part and let God do his part. Do your best and let Jesus do the rest. Have good will, act in good faith, and put good effort into what you do or want, and that is good enough on your part. Despite that if you still fail, then it wasn't your control. It was due to circumstances outside your control or ability. It then has to be considered to be in God's hands, not yours. Ultimately in time everything is in God's domain. He will have to improve things and turn any bad circumstances into something better since you can't. Don't want that which can't happen. Be indifferent to that which you can't make happen. Be grateful for what good does happen, even if it is little. Patiently wait for things to change for the better. Believe or have faith that things will eventually change for the better. Keep hope. Faith is the assurance for hope. Without faith, hope is wishful thinking. With faith, hope is assurance that good will come. If God doesn't grant your wish and bad things come, look to see if he gave you the inner ability or character to cope with the bad and the ability to change some of it for the better.
Imagine you are a little child and "broke" something. Then you as a child cry because you broke something. After that you go to him like to your father - and he fixes it for you. Because he really likes you. He loves you. It is a thought, a sentence "god i give this to you.
Thank you for this.. I need to get back to my Divine Mercy devotion, please pray for me . This past few days I felt times of anxiety and fear of what if , Thanks God to Mama Mary, Rosary and saints and souls in purgatory 🙏💕 we pray with them and they help us for graces and help from above.. God is merciful..
Boy, did I really need this so bad today 😩 I'm struggling with anger and resentment towards my husband right now. I love him, but he really messed us up financially. I feel worried, helpless, and scared right now. I've been asking God to help because I really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm sinking in quick sand. 😢
Every morning I start in my morning prayers to offer my will to God ( not my will, but your will be done) and repeat this thru the day. And in meditation I pray for letting go of control,doubs,fears. Then peace enters in me, I then know God is working in me because without him I can do nothing. ❤
“What we don’t hand over, we hand on.” I will take that idea to heart, and pass it on to my family. / This reflection came as a true blessing, because I had just received distressing news. I listened to the reflection twice in the morning, then went on to work and had a brave and sensible day…despite challenges before me. It would have been a very different day had I not intentionally handed it over to God. / Thank you for the wisdom, Fr. Columba
I love how you said we can "snuggle in" to our reliance on God. It just really painted the picture for me of how I am really God's child and I need to let him take care of everything and not try to micromanage God, or rather micromanage how he handles things. God knows best, and He's got it all sorted.
Yes this is key! It’s funny though how, when I am at peace in a certain situation, some people automatically respond as if it’s because (they think) I just don’t have any problems or never suffered. So for them, the response to anything should be STRESS! This is their way of showing that they have problems in order to bring the attention upon themselves. This only exasperates the problem because they are bot trusting in Jesus. Truth is we all have our Cross/problems. We are not better then Our Master Who carried a Cross His whole life which was full of suffering up until His literal Cross and Crucifixion. Some carry their Cross WITH Jesus. Others drag it kicking and screaming.
That's so true, I've been living my life thinking that I have to resolve everything to show up what?...I don't know but last night finally understood what life is about and yes GOD is the writer of my book not me. Thank you I really like to listen to your teachings
The most powerful thing we can do is Asking to God, Trusting and let it go, because we really Trust. It will be delivered, it make take time and it may come in a way we never expected, but it comes, but avoid keeping asking for it, avoid putting anxiety or fear in it. Ask with details and good mood and let it happen ❤ Thank you for reminding me 😊
Man I’m so tired of overthinking So tired of having to bear with my own doubts…. Surrender.. man I honestly haven’t truly surrendered my body,soul and mind I’m always caught by the vice grip of my ego and temptations yet deep within my heart I know I’m not this sin and not this body or mind. Although made from the dust of this Earth I know I’m a child of God almighty thanks be to his only offspring his son and his spirit. God complete love and power Son the manifestation and embodiment of the father and attributes belonging to this identity. Holy Spirit. The bridge which unifies both aspects of Spirit and flesh. Spirit being the life force and flesh that which contains the uncontainable force. Holy Trinity
This popped up today. So I guess I needed to hear it as I start a new academic year. I struggle with this in many aspects of my life. Though I am still standing, I feel like when I have held out for hope I have gotten smacked in the face. Whether this is divine intervention or human consequence. This makes it hard. And how do you balance with the talents, will, capacity, wisdom or foresight that “God” enables you to have or has given you (whether by innate ability or learned experience) to take action and mitigate. Protect yourself. Protect others. Be mentally well. Accomplish your goals. It is HARD. Just keeping it real. Happy to hear your thoughts folks. Regardless, thanks for this video Father. ❤
Thank you. I have failed and failed again this week. Family car totaled Sunday by a hit and run. I broke my tooth badly. Had a fight with my older sister over a family matter. Rental car has been problematic. Been at odds with the sister I live life with. I am behaving hard and ugly, because my heart has been scared and so angry. Thank you for these words, Father. I surrender to our Lord.
Keep going God loves you
God bless you. My family and I will pray for you!
May the Peace of Christ be upon you, friend
Blessings and peace be yours 🙏🏼😊
Good on you..God loves such honesty..we're all in the same boat. "Keep a stout heart"
God is self-sufficient. He doesn’t need anything. It’s just us who need to trust Him.
What we don’t hand over to God we hand on to the next generation. This is an answer to my prayer. Amen 🙏
One of my deepest flaws - a "fixer" - eldest child syndrome! Giving things up to God is so much better!
Same here!! Eldest Child Syndrome! God bless you, dear Friend in Christ 🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼
It's true Father, i noticed when i try to fix something by myself and i want it to change quick the solution doesn't remain for long. I end up in a cycle of trying and trying again from square one.

Thank you Father- I pray constantly and all so deal with horrible anxiety.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

I needed to hear this today...
I really, genuinely needed this today. It helped me to say a more authentic prayer to God, from the heart. Thank you.
This reminded me a lot of the Surrender Novena by Father Dolindo. Wonderful talk. Thank you Father
It is all about that surrender novena.😉
Lord Jesus I surrender myself to you; take care of everything! Is my new daily aspiration!
Yeah when i am in pain, alone in my problems - this novena pops up.
I needed this today. “What you don’t handover, you hand down..”
Oh man, this makes me laugh because it is TOTALLY who I am "Hey, oh, sure, I trust you Lord, BUT just let's just do it my way!! My own way will honestly just be easier than Yours -- of course I trust You, truly, BUT I just want to get this finished, my way will be easier/faster/makes more sense" Letting Him be in control is just a struggle for me.
The Holy Spirit let me here! I’m so glad I came across this video. Thank you father. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏❤️
Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. AMEN! 💚❤️🔥💙🙏🏻
Amen.

I grew up in a secular/atheist household, and I really struggle with the concept of surrendering things to God. Practically, how do you do that? Have you put out a video about that already?
day by day
little by little
step by step
listen and obey
cry out for help
pray for help
pray the surrender novena.
lived experience
pray to ask what area you should be surrendering
trust the process
Do your part and let God do his part. Do your best and let Jesus do the rest. Have good will, act in good faith, and put good effort into what you do or want, and that is good enough on your part.

I feel worried, helpless, and scared right now. I've been asking God to help because I really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm sinking in quick sand. 😢
Praying for you, you’re not alone
I pray to ask God to lead your husband and show him the way out of the mess,
Really good. Thank you 😁
😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏 thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this . I needed to hear this so badly 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Every morning I start in my morning prayers to offer my will to God ( not my will, but your will be done) and repeat this thru the day. And in meditation I pray for letting go of control,doubs,fears. Then peace enters in me, I then know God is working in me because without him I can do nothing. ❤
Your accent slaps. Message also rocks.
Thank you!!
Thank you Father. This is definately something ive been struggling with lately!
Amen!
Well this is some extremely fortuitous timing - thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you Fr, I have been struggling a lot trying to control everything, please pray for me
“What we don’t hand over, we hand on.” I will take that idea to heart, and pass it on to my family. / This reflection came as a true blessing, because I had just received distressing news. I listened to the reflection twice in the morning, then went on to work and had a brave and sensible day…despite challenges before me. It would have been a very different day had I not intentionally handed it over to God. / Thank you for the wisdom, Fr. Columba
Thank you
Jesus I trust in you 🙏
I love how you said we can "snuggle in" to our reliance on God. It just really painted the picture for me of how I am really God's child and I need to let him take care of everything and not try to micromanage God, or rather micromanage how he handles things. God knows best, and He's got it all sorted.
My first reaction was 'ofcourse. easy.' Then I realize, this is the hardest part of the faith. Atleast for me.
I love Jesus I’m liking this channel (my 7 year old)!
I needed this. Thank you father.
Yes this is key! It’s funny though how, when I am at peace in a certain situation, some people automatically respond as if it’s because (they think) I just don’t have any problems or never suffered. So for them, the response to anything should be STRESS! This is their way of showing that they have problems in order to bring the attention upon themselves. This only exasperates the problem because they are bot trusting in Jesus. Truth is we all have our Cross/problems. We are not better then Our Master Who carried a Cross His whole life which was full of suffering up until His literal Cross and Crucifixion. Some carry their Cross WITH Jesus. Others drag it kicking and screaming.
That's so true, I've been living my life thinking that I have to resolve everything to show up what?...I don't know but last night finally understood what life is about and yes GOD is the writer of my book not me. Thank you I really like to listen to your teachings
The most powerful thing we can do is Asking to God, Trusting and let it go, because we really Trust. It will be delivered, it make take time and it may come in a way we never expected, but it comes, but avoid keeping asking for it, avoid putting anxiety or fear in it. Ask with details and good mood and let it happen ❤
Thank you for reminding me 😊
Amen 🙏 ✝️
Thanks
Man I’m so tired of overthinking
So tired of having to bear with my own doubts…. Surrender.. man I honestly haven’t truly surrendered my body,soul and mind I’m always caught by the vice grip of my ego and temptations yet deep within my heart I know I’m not this sin and not this body or mind. Although made from the dust of this Earth I know I’m a child of God almighty thanks be to his only offspring his son and his spirit.
God complete love and power
Son the manifestation and embodiment of the father and attributes belonging to this identity.
Holy Spirit. The bridge which unifies both aspects of Spirit and flesh. Spirit being the life force and flesh that which contains the uncontainable force.
Holy Trinity
Your videos help me so much. Thank you! ❤🙌
wow. perfect timing
love this
This popped up today. So I guess I needed to hear it as I start a new academic year. I struggle with this in many aspects of my life. Though I am still standing, I feel like when I have held out for hope I have gotten smacked in the face.
Whether this is divine intervention or human consequence. This makes it hard.
And how do you balance with the talents, will, capacity, wisdom or foresight that “God” enables you to have or has given you (whether by innate ability or learned experience) to take action and mitigate. Protect yourself. Protect others. Be mentally well. Accomplish your goals.
It is HARD. Just keeping it real. Happy to hear your thoughts folks. Regardless, thanks for this video Father. ❤
That's the (Saint) Don Dolindo prayer of surrender and trust, dictated by our Lord. Padre Pio encouraged people to go to Don Dolindo too
