Daily Meditation for May 8, 2025

It seems many of us experience our life full of personal problems and difficult situations in the world. All seems so overwhelming and dire at times. Often one just doesn’t know how to deal with it all. Finding solutions to world and personal problems are indeed far beyond our comprehension. UNLESS we hear and believe the WORDS OF JESUS. “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not let them be afraid. I am with you always.” A firm belief in these powerful words can help keep all our troubles in perspective. Jesus’ words assure us that the problems in our life and in the world will pass away. God is in charge of all events. God is the source of peace and stability even when the winds of chaos swirl around us. Faith and trust in God help us know that goodness, peace and love are enduring realities that are unfolding.
