Thoughts

I am shellshocked and heartbroken by the act of terror in France. Anymore these days I'm finding it hard to see good in the world from the petty disaster of the presidential election in the US to horrific events like this massacre, everything seems to be falling apart. 83 people will not get to live their lives another day. They all had families and loved ones. For all I know, that could be me. Life is such a strange thing and there's no knowing when it might come to an end. The people watching the fireworks had no clue that by going to an enjoyable event they would be spending their last minutes.

More than ever I know I need to place my hope in Jesus. I'm scared about the future of our world. I'm struggling with doubts. But with every terrible thing that happens I just get more affirmed that above it all I need need need to place hope in the fact that our Heavenly Father has this all in control. No matter how much work the Devil is doing, God will win in the end. It's up to us, his followers, to pray and spread love and serve Him to te best of our ability now.

God, help calm the hearts and souls of the hurt families in France. Help me to overcome my doubts and to serve out your plan for my life. Help me, and the rest of the world, to see that you're in control of it all. Amen.
