"Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
Lord, I think I know what I am asking for. I am asking for the promise of the Father of which you say that whoever asks for it must receive. I am asking that you fill me with your Holy Spirit. I am praying too that you grant me the grace to surrender completely to the Holy Spirit. I want your Holy Spirit to lead me, guide me and use me to dust.
Can I drink the cup that you drank or be baptized with the baptism that you were baptized? With the help of your Holy Spirit I can.
I know too these two comforting truths:
"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope." (Jeremiah 29: 11)
"We know that all things work for good for those who love God,* who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8: 28)
You are a faithful God who never forsakes anybody who trusts in you.
