Problems - Panic + Prayer = Peace

You know, it really saddened me when I heard about the death of the lady that worked at St. Vincent's Charity Hospital and her husband. Per the news, $2 million dollars is missing from the organization and she was in charge. I do not know any pertinent details but I can imagine the pressure she must have felt...knowing or not knowing the whereabouts of these funds. I have been going through financial difficulties too in caring for Mom and not being able to find employment to fit my overall circumstances BUT no matter how horrible my situation gets...no matter how much pressure Satan tries to place upon me, I have truly learned not to panic. God's promises are true and He promised to see us through EVERY problem. I hold on to that and it is because of Him that I would never consider suicide. I truly want to see and be able to share with others how His mercy and grace brings me through. There are times when he inspires me to try this or that, encourages me to ask others for help but He is the catalyst of every blessing. Its nothing that I do. So I encourage you from the FIRST MOMENT you feel a problem coming on...PRAY...and be at PEACE, knowing our Heavenly Father has it all under control. Learn from past mistakes and continue on in Him. He loves us so much. He will never let us down.
