Keeping the faith

Life isn’t easy. There are good times when things flow smoothly and we’re happy with life. There are challenging times when we’re tossed on a stormy sea and wonder how we’re going to get through. We feel afraid and alone. Today we are reminded that in our distress God is our rock, our stronghold. We are told not to throw away our confidence during these times. By taking one step at a time, we grow in endurance and we know that all will be well in the end. Let us reflect on the psalmist’s words, “Even though you stumble you shall not fall for the Lord holds you by the hand”.
