Living without Fear

How can we live in a society where 6 year olds are being killed? In the wake of the tragedy in Connecticut, now is the time to turn our eyes to Jesus.

Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

We need to remember in these times of Crisis that the Lord is with us and will walk beside us all the way.  We got a phone call last night from our daughters high school that said they wanted to reassure the parents that the bomb threat that they received was not valid and that this morning the police were going to sweep the school and check for bombs.

My husband and I prayed that God would protect our daughter and sent her to school this morning. Our faith and trust needs to be in God. A friend of mine once told me something that rings as true today as it did when she told me. Our Children are not really our children, they are only on loan to us from God and we need to do our best to take care of them until God calls them home.

Lord,

I ask that you be with the community in Connecticut and wrap your loving arms around our nation and give us your peace Father and let us put our hopes and fears in You.
We love you Lord.

Love Your Servant 
Mary
