“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You” (Isaiah 26:3)
It is natural for our hearts to feel fear in the face of life’s changes and uncertainties, but God invites us to a different posture: a complete trust that He, our eternal Father, will take care of us in every circumstance. The Lord is not only with us today—He is already present in tomorrow. The hand that has sustained you thus far will remain firm, guiding your steps, even when your strength fails. And when you can no longer walk, He Himself will carry you in His arms of love.
When we choose to live with this trust, we realize how much lighter and more orderly life becomes. But this peace is only possible when we abandon anxious assumptions and turn to the magnificent commandments of the Lord. It is through them that we learn to live with balance and courage. The wonderful Law of God not only instructs us—it strengthens us and shapes us to endure trials with dignity, without despair.
Trust, then, in the God who never fails. Make obedience to Him your safe shelter. The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Do not let yourself be dominated by fears and imaginations that paralyze. Surrender to the Lord’s guidance, and He Himself will take care of you, today and always. -Adapted from Francis de Sales. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Faithful Father, how many times have I let myself be dominated by anxious thoughts and fears of what has not even happened yet. Today I declare that I trust in You. You have cared for me until now, and I believe You will continue to sustain me in every step of my journey.
Guide me, Lord, by Your wisdom. Help me to cast out every thought that does not come from You, every worry that steals my peace. I want to rest in the certainty that, in everything, You will be with me, strengthening me and leading me safely.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for being so kind to me. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a wall around me and a light on the dark path. Your commandments are a safe refuge, comfort for the afflicted, and an anchor for the faithful. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
