Those who cling to God will lack nothing.
God alone is enough." (St Teresa of Avila)

Instead of focusing on evil & death, focus instead on the Lord of light, goodness & life & the others will disappear.

Are we finding ways to have silent times in our day? We need space/silence to hear God speaking. "Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps 46)
