Faith makes us stronger<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

We live so anxious and worried about the future that we even want to control everything and everyone.<\/span> <\/span>Anxiety takes hold of us, because things have to go exactly as our minds imagine, but we forget that God is the Lord of time.<\/span> <\/span>It is He who knows the future, and we can trust.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/hgroup>\n
 <\/div>\n
Who can predict something in life?<\/span> No one!<\/span> What can you predict about the lives of others.<\/span> Only God knows, for He rules and controls all things.<\/span> Thank God, only He knows.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
We must live our lives by entrusting our day to God and knowing that, “All things work together for good to them that love God” (Rom 8:28).<\/span> All situations in our lives are controlled by the Lord, so let go of those concerns that cannot be resolved.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Worry about things that depend on you.<\/strong><\/span> For example: the activities of your work;<\/span> your child you need to educate;<\/span> The husband you need to take care of.<\/span> These are the things that should concern you, but the future belongs to God, and, as the passage in Ecclesiastes says, “Whatever must happen will happen under God’s care.”<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I hope this message brings you some peace<\/strong> .<\/span><\/div>\n

The Lord bless you!<\/span>
\nYour brother,<\/span><\/p>\n
