 A certain amount of fear is very healthy ..ask any mother who is protecting her children from evil, there is only one way to handle a monster who is after you children and its not with a big ((HUG)).. if we lose our sense of flight for life were dead.. i understand what this pretty lady is saying but ..  there is a way to have peace while in the greatest of storms .. but denying the storm is a fools errand ..

  1 John 4:18 >>There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love...

  Luke 22:36 >>And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

 Ecclesiastes 3:1 >>To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

 

 

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

st. francis of assisi - 13th century

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
