Jesus said to his disciples, “In the world, you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world”. (John 16:33)
Thought
Our little battles, sometimes seem impossible to fathom! Not for Jesus!
Reflection
Lord Jesus, through your words, “My peace I leave you, let not your heart be troubled,” I find your comfort, guidance and multiple blessings.
Prayer: Be At Peace (St Francis de Sales)
Do not look forward in fear to the changes in life;
rather, look to them with full hope that as they arise,
God, whose very own you are,
will lead you safely through all things;
and when you cannot stand it,
God will carry you in His arms.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;
the same understanding Father who cares for you today
will take care of you then and every day.
He will either shield you from suffering
or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace,
and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
