Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

It is so easy to get caught up in the events and headlines of the world or within our own daily lives, and then begin to live in worry and stress constantly. After much wringing of our hands and maybe lashing out at others, we sit and think how can I change what is happening? We can’t do it alone, we need to turn to our Lord and Savior first and listen for his guidance.
