With all that is happening in our country and the world around us, there are many concerns on our hearts.  But God is Lord over all!  So our trust is in Him only.  Remember it is Jesus who said,
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.  Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”  John 14:27

There is a comforting poem by Edith Willis Linn Forbes (1865-1945) and is a blessing to many--

“Dear restless heart, be still; don’t fret and worry so;
 God has a thousand ways His love and help to show;
 Just trust, and trust, and trust until His will you know.  (See Proverbs 3:5-6)

 Dear restless heart, be still, for peace is God’s own smile,
 His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile;
 Just love, and love, and love, and calmly wait awhile.  (See 1 John 4:7-8)

 Dear restless heart, be brave; don’t moan and sorrow so,
 He hath a meaning kind in chilly winds that blow;
 Just hope, and hope, and hope, until you braver grow.  (See 1Timothy 4:10)

 Dear restless heart, repose upon His breast this hour,
 His grace is strength and life, His love is bloom and flower;
 Just rest, and rest, and rest, within His tender power.  
(See Matthew 11:28-30) 

 Dear restless heart, be still! Don’t struggle to be free;
 God’s life is in your life, from Him you may not flee;
 Just pray, and pray, and pray, till you have faith to see.” 
(See Matthew 7:7-8)

It is The LORD who said, 
“Do not fear, for I am with you;
 Do not anxiously look around you, for I am your God.
 I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
 Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”  Isaiah 41:10

Beloved of God, that is security!!  With hearts that are at rest in the Lord, may each be the testimony of Christ and so shine that God is glorified.  Amen
