finding encouragement

Who has not been affected, one way or the other, by the state of our world's economy? Being the worrier that I am, I often find myself weeping every single day for family, friends and even strangers.

There's no doubt we need the basics---food, shelter, clothing. And now, here we are---on the verge of hunger and homelessness; stripped of everything, including our dignity.

But I am hopeful that something beautiful will emerge out of all this darkness. A new me and a new you.

Definitely more prayerful, more grounded, more mature.

As we find ourselves at the heart of a crisis, let us never forget that we have hope in God! An eternal kind of hope that transcends all our worldly problems.

Pray for those around you. Run to God for comfort. He has been waiting for you.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31 )
