Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear. Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, God to whom you belong will in his love enable you to profit by them.
He has guided you thus far in life; do you but hold fast to his dear hand, and he will lead you safely through all trials. Whenever you cannot stand, he will carry you lovingly in his arms.
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same eternal Father who takes care of you today will take care of you tomorrow. Be at peace. Amen.
When to pray
On January 24 (feast of St. Francis de Sales), for journalists and communicators, in family or work conflicts, or when seeking holiness in ordinary work.
