Give Jesus One More Chance: Trusting God When Hope Seems Lost | Fr Joby George VC | Divine Australia

There are moments when prayer seems to have reached its limit and hope begins to close down. Fr Joby George VC reflects on Jairus, whose daughter died while Jesus was still on the way, and on Christ's invitation in the face of apparent impossibility: “Do not fear; only believe.” This retreat teaching explores the difference between believing that God can act and trusting that He can act personally in our lives. Fr Joby speaks about keeping the door open to Jesus, surrendering our timelines and preferred outcomes, recognising unexpected grace, and allowing living faith to shape holy choices even while we wait.
