What are you afraid of? Faith the future and find peace of mind.
“As a rule, what is out of sight disturbs men’s minds more seriously than what they see.”
- Julius Caesar
Scared of the dark? There is Light at the end of the alley.
Wringing your hands over tomorrow? Take hold of God’s hand.
Dragging your feet? Let God’s strong love put a spring in your step.
Trying to pray your way out of trouble? Pray God’s way through trouble.
Thunderstorms obscure stars. Clouds camouflage blue sky. Valleys threaten peace.
Believer, take heart—the Lord Jesus Christ walks beside you through the shadow lands.
There is a far better way to face forward than “perhaps”—faith language that says “will.”
From where you sit, it seems most everything is dark—heaven’s viewpoint sees the silver lining.
The other side of death is life. The other side of worry is worship. The other side of despair is solace.
The other side of the discord of earth is the symphony of paradise. The other side of fear is blessed relief.
"What a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the smile of God!"
Genesis 33:10 NLT
