Life-Storms

No one is free from the storms in life. At times, we are confronted with problems when we least expect these.  It is difficult as the mind is clouded with worry, confusion and anxiety. “What will be the outcome of these?” A negative mantra consumes the whole being; the burden becomes heavier from moment-to-moment.

When life-storms do come, as they will, I find refuge in prayer. When dark thoughts attack, I counter with prayers to the Father, to the Son, to the Holy Spirit, to Mary, to the saints.  Grateful for raising me up when I had fallen down in the past, I am confident that the Lord will not abandon me.

He tells: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
