one more

It feels like one more hit.

The threat of war!

We are just starting to see a return to a new normal after almost 2 years of worldwide pandemic, and now this.

More unknown.

More worry.

More lack of control.

More uncertainty.

More economic worry.

More death in the world.

It all seems like so much. A moment to breath would be delightful but the hits keep coming.

If you are like me, you might be wondering, ‘How much more can we take?’ I keep asking myself, ‘how much more can this world endure? When will the hits stop coming?’ There seems to be no end in sight, no release from the worry and concern. No moments to breathe.

When the hits keep coming, there is nothing left to do but cling to God—Cling to the one who is over all, in all and through all. A God who does not leave us or forsake us, even as we face more dark days of unknowing ahead. Cling to hope. Cling to grace. Cling to God.

What else can we do?
