Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.(James 1:2-4, TM)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Let nothing disturb you, nothing alarm you:
while all things fade away
God is unchanging.
Be patient
and you will gain everything:
for with God in your heart
nothing is lacking,
God meets your every need.(Teresa of Avila)
Pray Together with Us:
Please Lord,
Help me to be brave and strong in you
and take my fear away.(Stephen Matthews (age 13))
