Security in Scary Times
How can we cope?
The world is a dangerous place no doubt, but there is more to it.
Fear is used by some to influence and control others.
Right now the fires of fear are being stoked through all the news outlets that surround us.
They don’t all agree on what exactly we should fear but it’s pretty much a given that there is a lot to be concerned about.
The reason I write is to help us center our minds and emotions on thoughts and ideas that can restore our souls whether or not what we fear comes through.
One thing is certain — How we see life is more important than any and every problem we may be facing.
I know this sounds crazy but walk through it with me.
If I feel isolated and alone, even little problems can seem overwhelming.
On the other hand, if I feel mysteriously connected to God, even if I don’t completely believe he exists, then my problems shrink in importance.
In other words, if given the choice to be isolated but without problems or to have lots of problems and feel connected to God, I would choose problems and God. This is because I know how, in isolation, I can create problems for myself even if I didn’t start out with any. God in my life calms my nerves.
