When life gets difficult, trust in God and don’t worry unnecessarily about tomorrow. Trusting in him doesn’t magically solve problems, but it allows for facing them with the right spirit — courageously. I am brave because I trust in my Father who cares for everything and loves me very much. Too much worrying risks taking serenity and balance away from one’s life. Often this anxiety is pointless because it is unable to change the course of events. Whoever holds onto God never falls. God is our defence against evil that always lies in ambush. God is our shelter, the source of our serenity and our peace. He is the rock of our salvation.

Pope Francis, February 2017.
