I'm struck today by how uncertain things seem. I talked to a client who was telling me that business is down and 2009 looks worse. I know that my Mom just lost a very dear friend completely unexpectedly, she was 39. I have other friends with other situations going on in their lives and in all this it would seem that God might be very far away. But I know that He is always with us.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 calls us to "Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus".
John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."
John 14:27 " "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
No matter what the situation, I know that I must continue to pray. I know that I have to trust and obey and believe. I'm uncertain about many things but I know that ultimately God is the one in control, not me!
