Dear St. Paul’s family:
Henri Nouwen said: “When I trust deeply that today God is truly with me and holds me safe in a divine embrace, guiding every one of my steps I can let go of my anxious need to know how tomorrow will look, or what will happen next month or next year. I can be fully where I am and pay attention to the many signs of God’s love within me and around me.”
What a great spiritual truth for this season of the church year, and what great wisdom for living in our day and age. There is so much anxiety and uncertainty all around us, and we can either give into it and allow the world to toss us about here and there, or we can live into God’s love and will, finding in him a peace that is beyond human understanding.
As we continue through 2024, a year certain to bring a lot of anxiety, trust God. Pay attention to his work in your life. Let him guide each step.
Blessings,
Pastor Evan
