As we embark on a new year, our Lord alerts us to struggles, challenges and temptations. He assures us of the supremacy of His abiding presence with us and the sufficiency of His abounding grace in whatever He sets before us. On the cover of the weekly prayer guide I publish for my personal use I have a reminder to help me keep my bearings as I navigate those sometime stormy seas that threaten to undo me. Distress gave birth to the reminder as the Spirit of God girded me up with His truth and sustained me. I share it here as one seeking to comfort others with the comfort I myself have received from God.
I can handle all things
trusting God's providence
that brought it to me
in Christ's strength
that is perfectly sufficient for me
for God's glory
that is to be my goal over my comfort and convenience.
May the peace of God guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

amen! Thanks for the reminder Stan. Just read this powerful statement that has been encouraging me as well, "Peace is the companion of HOPE"
There is great peace in knowing that God is in complete control, and that we are His.
