Do Not Worry About Me - A Call to Faith, Devotion, and Responsibility
2025-12-00 · Source: tparents.org
In times of deep uncertainty - moments when faith is stretched and hearts are weighed down by trials - certain words rise above the noise and become a guiding light. Among these are the deeply moving and spiritually charged words spoken by our beloved True Mother, “Do not worry about me.” These are not casual reassurances. They are an expression of divine confidence, a mother’s steady heart, and a leader’s unshakable faith that Heaven’s providence is marching forward. At a time when our global movement faces challenges and persecution, these words stand as both comfort and command.
It has now been more than three months since True Mother’s unjust detention. Members worldwide have wrestled with the difficult question: Why would Heaven allow such pain at a moment when the providence seems close to fulfillment? The Cheon Won Gung Cheonil Sanctum Entrance Ceremony marked the substantial foundation for Heavenly Parent to dwell with humankind - surely a moment of triumph. Yet immediately after, an unexpected ordeal emerged. This paradox has weighed heavily on many hearts. Still, our True Mother does not focus on her suffering. Instead, she urges us to pray not for herself but for the strength, unity, and spiritual growth of our families, communities, and the Providence.
To grasp this moment correctly, we must step beyond emotion and view the situation through the lens of Heaven’s long and often painful providential history. Before every providential leap forward, Heaven has asked for an offering of indescribable magnitude. Before the proclamation of Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk in 2013, True Father’s unexpected ascension became that sacrificial turning point - a moment of heartbreak that opened the door to a new era.
Thereafter, on the foundation of the victorious expectations for the Twelve-Year Course of Cheon Il Guk, th in the 13 year of Cheon Il Guk True Parents achieved a great victory through the unprecedented Cheon Won Gung Cheonil Sanctum Entrance Ceremony, embodying the completion of Heaven’s providence and the consummate significance of human history. However, because humanity has not yet been able to fully receive and bear the miraculous grace of the blessing permitted by Heaven, True Mother, the Holy Mother who bestows true life, is currently walking a course of cosmic sacrifice.
This sacrifice signals not defeat, but breakthrough. It marks a turning point where Heaven is preparing great victory. That is why True Mother tells us not to worry. She is modeling the faith required to keep the providence moving. She calls us to strengthen our unity, intensify our mission, and prepare for a significant providential leap forward. Heaven is turning pain into momentum.
Dear brothers and sisters, worry is instinctive, but it is not spiritual. It flows from fear - the fear of what we cannot control or predict. Yet throughout Scripture and providential history, God’s message has remained consistent: Trust me! True Mother’s declaration embodies this message.
Mature faith does not arise from a life without hardship; it arises from knowing whose hands hold the future. To say “Do not worry about me” is to declare total trust in Heavenly Parent’s governance. It
liberates us from fear so that we can rise to our mission with clear minds and steady hearts.
This attitude of trust is something we must learn to apply in our personal lives as well. Whether facing sickness, financial strain, or uncertainty about our future, the same spiritual principle applies. God remains at work even when we cannot perceive its movement. The worship song Way Maker captures this powerful truth: “Even when I don’t see it, You’re working. Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working. You never stop working.” Heaven does not pause simply because our eyes cannot see beyond the moment.
Essential to embodying this confidence is the practice of devotions. Offering devotions strengthens the inner life the way roots strengthen a tree. It stabilizes our spirit, aligns our heart with Heaven, and allows divine wisdom to flow in times of confusion. Without devotions, even strong people can crumble. With devotions, even the weary can stand firm. True Mother established Cheonshim Won precisely for this reason - to provide a spiritual lifeline for our movement. Devotions transform fear into peace and chaos into clarity.
The Scriptures offer powerful examples. Daniel’s unwavering devotion led him safely through the lions’ den. Abraham climbed Mount Moriah trusting that God would provide. Jesus, in Gethsemane, surrendered fully to Heavenly Parent’s will, showing the highest model of faith. These stories remind us that devotion enables believers to rise above fear and embrace Heaven’s plan - even when the path is steep.
There are clear reasons believers can confidently say, “Do not worry about me.” First, God sees every detail of our struggle - nothing is hidden from Heaven. Second, God knows our needs before we voice them. Third, God works behind the scenes, orchestrating outcomes we often recognize only in hindsight. Scripture confirms this repeatedly: from Moses at the Red Sea to Joseph in prison to Jesus on the cross, Heaven’s greatest victories often emerge from situations that seem impossible.
Ultimately, True Mother hopes that each of us will become a towering tree rooted deeply in Cheon Il Guk - capable of embracing and uplifting the world. Her suffering has opened a providential door leading toward the era of substantial Cheon Il Guk. But a door, once opened, still requires footsteps. The responsibility now rests on our shoulders.
So let us move forward with utmost devotion, unity, maturity, and unwavering faith. Let us declare with conviction: Do not worry about me - I trust Heavenly Parent. Do not worry about me - I will fulfill my portion of responsibility. And above all, may we resolve with renewed commitment: We will not make our beloved True Mother worry. Aju!
Do not worry about me - I trust Heavenly Parent. Do not worry about me - I will fulfill my portion of responsibility. And above all, may we resolve with renewed commitment: We will not make our beloved True Mother worry.
