Father Marcel Taillon joins Patrick to discuss Trusting God

  • What is trust and what is trust not?
  • (15:03) Elsa – I have experience trusting and completely surrendering. Quit my job in November. Prayed, hoped, and surrendered. Gave myself to God. He’s always come through, maybe not in the way I wanted, but he had something amazing for me – a job at a Catholic church.
  • How can our trust for God be brought up through other things?
  • (21:59) How does God fix things in our life?

(26:58) Break 1

  • Jerome – We pray for other people, for ourselves, etc. I know everything is God’s will. I feel like when I pray, I try to give it to God, but not having faith if God’s not fixing it.
  • (39:30) Jo – We’re raising a child who is now 15. Had her for 13. Suffered neglect and abuse. Her mom died and father not in picture. She has no trust. What advice can you give me?
