I was recently talking with a young man who was feeling sadness over the relocation of a friend and concern over a sick family member. All are expected feelings. However, his mind was amplifying the emotions, giving him anxiety and preventing him from having restful nights. Of course, counseling may help, but we talked about the immense power of God to help us in situations like this. God may or may not remove the problematic situations from our lives, as those often trigger the most personal and spiritual growth. But God can give us the grace we need to experience them while holding Jesus’ hand. I hope you find this prayer fruitful.

Be at Peace
