Be not afraid

‎"The Lord has a plan for each of us; He calls each one of us by name. Our task is to learn how to listen, to perceive His call, to be courageous and faithful in following Him and to be found trustworthy servants who have used well the gifts given to us." - Pope Benedict XVI

We can weather the storm of uncertainty, trusting in God's plan for us.  Once we can quiet our mind and listen for His voice, He will guide us to where we are to be.

Be Not Afraid
You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come follow me, and
I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side, know that
I am with you through it all.
 
Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!
