Being Certain in Uncertain Times

When you pick up the newspaper the majority of what you will read is bad news. If you turn on the television between the commercials wanting to sell you various kinds of pills to cure every malady under the sun, you'll hear almost nothing but bad news. It can be disheartening and depressing to see the state the world is in, but you must look beyond that bad news and find the silver lining in one very dark cloud.

What you must learn to do is look beyond the bad news. That doesn't mean ignore what is going on in the world, quite the contrary, be aware of what is going on in your neighborhood, your city and state and the world. It is important that you be knowledgable but also important that you know two things :

Number one, the Divine will never give you more than you can truly handle and number two you will always be taken care of, even when you feel alone and abandoned by all. The key to getting help is to ask. If you feel overwhelmed by world events, life in general or a specific situation, ask for help and be certain it will come. However, it may not come in the form you think it might. If you ask for help be aware some doors may open you weren't expecting, it's up to you to have the courage to walk through them, remember you are never alone and be certain all your prayers are heard.
