The world is crazy right now. If you haven’t seen the news lately, turn it on. Too much is going on. As parents, the craziness we see in the media can add to our stress. Our worry. Our fears.
Let me advise you to STOP right there. The Bible says, “Perfect Love casts out all fear”. We need to love ourselves, our families, and others. Good always overcomes evil. Always. Let’s find ways to help positively impact the world for good in our communities. Don’t lose hope or your head worrying about what you see. At every opportunity, show up and be a light for justice.
I know what you’re thinking. “She isn’t in my situation”. True! But, I know worry won’t fix it. Listen, I get scared, too! But, it takes refocusing our minds on the hope we have in Jesus Christ. There! All anxiety is lifted. The problem isn’t solved, but we can see hope. So, read your Bible, pray, talk to others who have solutions and ideas for improvement, and most importantly, get involved. But don’t worry. Be cautious , talk to your kids, and live your best life now.
God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
There is change to be made, hurdles to climb, life to live. It’s ugly right now, but don’t lose hope!
