In our fast-paced and instant gratification-driven world, it's easy to fall into the trap of shallow spirituality and an empty relationship with God. We may approach our faith as if God is a vending machine, expecting Him to fulfill our every request without truly understanding the depth of His love and the work He desires to do in our souls.
This mindset can hinder our ability to see God's hand at work in our lives and to trust in His perfect timing and plan. Instead of seeking a quick fix or instant gratification, we are called to cultivate a deep and abiding relationship with God, rooted in prayer, scripture, and sacramental life.
