Changes, Fears, Stresses

If you read the paper or turn on the news these days, you will no doubt hear alot about "change". Not everyone is convinced that our country is headed in the right direction, however. Seems like more often than not, there is much turmoil and fear about the future. When even the most stable companies are going under and wealth is disappearing (for some) all the time, we need desperately to go to the Rock of our Salvation!!! He will never falter and never fail, no matter what the world looks like. Take heart from these comforting words:


Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear;
Rather, look to them with full hope, that as they arise, God, whose you are,
will deliver you out of them.
He has kept you hitherto~do not but hold fast to His dear hand,
and He will lead you safely through all things;
and, when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms.
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow,
the same Everlasting Father who cares for you today,
will take care of you tomorrow and everyday.
Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.

St. Francis De Sales

May the Lord bless you richly and wrap you in His loving arms in this unsure and turbulent time.
