"Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you - for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart...don't listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love..." 

-- St. Therese of Lisieux

It is so easy to get discouraged by thoughts and feelings. Thoughts enter the mind when say "You are not worthy of God's help!You are the one who failed - it's your responsibility. Fix yourself! Then you may have His help." But that makes no sense! Jesus is the Savior.He came to save us. He knows how weak we are and He knows that the power and strength we so desperately need can only come from Him and so He makes Himself ever present and available to us.. We are complete in Him. He knows we cannot fix ourselves. This is how the priest at confession put it "Think of who He is. He is the Savior.. let Him do His job." All these thoughts that make us shy away from God cannot be from Him.. He cannot contradict Himself. He is Truth and He is Love. How lucky we are that we can call Him our Lord and Savior.
