3.4 Kann das Gebet mir helfen, die richtigen Entscheidungen zu treffen?
Um herauszufinden, was Gott für uns will, müssen wir erkennen lernen, wie er in den Tiefen unseres Herzens zu uns spricht. Auf Gott zu hören bedeutet, auf unsere tiefsten Gefühle zu hören. Nur tief in uns können wir den Willen Gottes finden.
Es ist gut zu unterscheiden, welche Wünsche vom Heiligen Geist kommen und welche nicht. Dazu brauchen Sie Gottes Hilfe. Sobald du herausgefunden habst, was du tun sollst, wirst du wirklich inneren Frieden und Ruhe erleben. Dieses Gefühl ist das, was Gott für jeden von uns will, da es zeigt, was richtig ist.
When did Jesus pray?
The Gospel often shows Jesus at prayer. We see him draw apart to pray in solitude, even at night. He prays before the decisive moments of his mission or that of his apostles. In fact, all his life is a prayer because he is in a constant communion of love with the Father. [CCCC 542]
How did Jesus pray?
Jesus’ life was one single prayer. At decisive moments (his temptation in the desert, his selection of the apostles, his death on the Cross) his prayer was especially intense. Often he withdrew into solitude to pray, especially at night. Being one with the Father in the Holy Spirit—that was the guiding principle of his earthly life. [Youcat 475]
“You will show me the path to life, fullness of joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever” (Ps 15(16):11). Every vocation, every path to which Christ calls us, ultimately leads to fulfilment and happiness, because it leads to God, to sharing in God’s own life... Who receives the Good News is joyous, is radiant with joy, and also gives the joy to others. [Pope John Paul II, Homily to the ‘International Youth Forum’, 13 Jan. 1995]
