I love the final picture in this post of the little boy holding the Bible and praying. It reminds me of passages in Matthew18 and 19 where Jesus teaches His disciples about the need to become humble and childlike. When things are feel scary, children know that all will be well if their father is with them (if they have a good father). They are comforted and can rest, knowing He is there. In like manner, when things in our country feel scary, I think God is asking me to become childlike in my trust that He is there. In that knowledge I find rest and comfort. Thank you for this post and timely reminder!

Thank you, Robby, for your wise words!!! Sometimes I feel the hair on the back of my neck rising and my heart pounding like an out of control elephant. Then, I remember we have a good good Father, and all we have to do is humble ourselves, pray, and seek Him!!!

Blessings and love to you and yours!!! <3
