Do not look
forward to the trials
and crosses of this life with dread and fear.
Rather, look to them with full confidence
that as they arise, God, to whom you belong,
will deliver you from them.
He has guided and guarded 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 cares for you today
will take good care of you tomorrow
and
every day of your life.
Either he will
shield you from suffering
or He will give you the unfailing strength to bear
it.
Be at peace, then,
and put aside all
useless thoughts,
vain dreads, and anxious imaginations.
--St. Francis de
Sales
