Is Not About Future Problems

I am struggling as I fight to stay focused. Our granddaughter remains in foster care, and I have not seen her in two weeks. It seems like an eternity. I wonder about the future of my son, his ex girlfriend and the baby. It does not look too promising for any of them. I wonder about our future as grandparents and the future seems filled with pain, anger, bitterness.

But then I think of other things. God does not leave us to suffer alone. He may let us walk through valleys but those valleys make us stronger people. Those valleys give us hearts of compassion, and they teach us patience. God never asks us to take care of future problems, that we have no control over. He asks us to care for what he gives us for today.

Today I can stand on faith. And that is my goal.
