second joyful mystery

When I say “yes” a challenge is given to me. Be it a friend, household head, a new job or even pursuing a new career. Although the service may be specific to me I will always need help. Always. Just like mother Mary when she said yes she did not bear her mission alone. She had Joseph with her and she probably sought encouragement, comfort and prayers from Elizabeth when visiting her. Just like Mary I understand how I have survived seemingly impossible situations… With the help of God and with the help of others. How can I rely on only myself when the Lord has given others around me with greater capabilities and faith to help me? How can I be so selfish to withhold the Christ in them that is crying out to help me? I will always need support, I will always need guidance, and I will most definitely always need prayers.

Father grant me the humility and grace to ask for prayers.
