Fear Not

Even amid the storms that threaten to sweep me away, I need not fear:  Jesus Christ, God-with-us, keeps me even through the wildest of storms.

God is the God of all of life – the chaos of the sea, the security of the land, the storm, and the stillness.

 

Fear not, I am with you;
be not dismayed;
I am your God.

I will strengthen you, and help you,
and uphold you with my right hand of justice.

(Is 41:10)

 

It is better for us to reach eternal bliss
after a few difficulties than to go down
into the depths of hell after brief joy.

~~ St. Caerarius of Arles
