“Do not look forward to the changes
and chances of this life with fear.
Rather, look on them with full confidence that,
as they arise, god to whom you belong
will in his love enable you to profit by them.
He has guided you thus far in life.
Do you but hold fast to His dear hand,
and He will lead you safely through all trials.
Whenever you cannot stand,
He will carry you lovingly in His arms.
Do not look forward to
what may happen tomorrow.
The same Eternal Father
who takes care of you today
will care for you tomorrow,
and every day of your life.
Either He will shield you from suffering
or He will give you
unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace then,
and put aside all useless thoughts,
all vain dreads and all anxious imaginations.”
- Francis De Sales
