Loss

There are many ways that losses come into our lives! We choose a profession and find that there is a glut of that particular job. So we may be laid off and as a result, are hurting. Someone I know called it “dying a little every day,” a result of the downturned economy.

If we lose friends, jobs, or place of residence, we can feel completely unhinged.

Where do we find peace of mind? A verse from the Bible says, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help.” The only hope is God, though we try other plans and hope for political promises.  Ultimately, our trust in the Maker of heaven and earth is the most important thing. Trust that we are loved and that God cares. Trust that God has a plan to rescue us no matter what happens. Peace will come that passes understanding.
