Keeping Unrest at Bay
Be not troubled about many things
Every day can bring about many events or problems that
can make us feel unsettled. Yet if we want to keep unrest at bay, it is
important that we prayerfully receive everything with the knowledge that God is
watching over us, and that all will be fine in the end. Spending time worrying
accomplishes nothing, for worrying simply brings on the stress that keep our
attention in the wrong place.
If we keep our focus on Christ, knowing that He is
with us in both troubled times, and moments of celebration, we can peacefully
receive all that befalls us. Knowing that even difficulties and hardships are
vehicles used by God for our salvation, how can we despair?
"When we serve the Lord we shall not be troubled
about many things, but always keep in mind the one thing needful (Luke
10:41)."
Love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
