My face is shining upon you, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with Me, your Peace. As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad problems around you, you will sink under the weight of your burdens. When you start to sink, simply call out "Help me, Jesus!" and I will lift you up.
The closer you live to Me, the safer you are. Circumstances around you are undulating, and there are treacherous-looking waves in the distance. Fix your eyes on Me, the One who never changes. By the time those waves reach you, they will have shrunk to proportions of My design. I am always beside you, helping you face today's waves. The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future! Stay close to me.

Excellent excerpt. Just the food that I, too, need for my soul today. Thanks! Focus on Jesus, feel safe, trust fully, open the heart... one step at a time ... All is well. Yes, keeping the mind of/on Christ with His help. Praying each day. Aunt P.
Praying for your hearts, that you would find sustaining grace in this most difficult circumstances. Power perfect in weakness- praying.
Your family is a constant on our heart. Along with this is the remainder of children desperate for love of family.
God hears our prayers. He desires the lowly to be placed in families.
We are resting on His promises.
Thanks for the Sarah Young quote.
Couldn't be said better!
