Courage Amid Difficulty
My dear son,
Today I want to offer you courage and peace. Let your heart lean on the news that Jesus has overcome the world. As your Father, I hope you will leave room for hope beyond what is happening before your eyes.
When difficulty comes, ask your questions and seek help. Rely on the Lord who loves you with your fear honestly present. On peaceful days, rejoice with me in the source of that peace.
Tonight, speak freely about the things that remain on your mind. Even when the world sounds loud, make room for the love I speak to you. Receive peace in Christ and let your body and heart rest awhile.
With all my love,
Your Father
John 16:33
WEB33I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
A short reflection
Jesus tells his disciples that although they will face trouble in the world, they can take courage because he has overcome the world.
