Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear; rather look upon them with strong hope that, as they arise, God, Whose child you are, will deliver you from them. He has kept you hitherto -- do you but hold fast to His dear Hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; where you cannot walk 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 every day. 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
Father, how wonderful Your care for us!
How happy I am to be Your child!
How greatly I rejoice in Your steadfast love!
Thank You, dear Father -- thank You!
