I can certainly acknowledge that it is difficult to detach ourselves from things which grab our attention. The world itself is testament to how twisted humanity is, and continues to progress into greater depravity. That is one of the reasons why Jesus invited us to cast all our cares on Him. We cannot change the course the world is taking, but we can seek His comfort and peace in the midst of the insanity, with assurance that God causes all things to work for the good of those who love Him, and that some day, the injustice, cruelty, and wickedness will be brought to an end. He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things will have passed away. That is where our hope is: in Him, and what He is accomplishing, whether we see this with our eyes, or not.

Amen lovely! The eyes of the Lord are on those whose hope is in His unfailing love - pun intended - I know right, that was cheeky lol
Here's a hug for you (((HUG)))

God is exacting my day - today; So I will be short and sweet: (and JoeFizz cheers LOL ) I'm sure many of us experience and understand that getting into the stride of God means nothing less than union with Himself. To be sure, it takes a long time to get there, but my encouragement today is - KEEP IT UP; KEEP AT IT. Don't give in because the pain is bad just now; get on with it, and before long you will find you have a new vision and a new purpose. May God richly Bless each and everyone of you today - and especially JoeFizzelduckling since I teased him a bit. LOL You know I love ya JoeFizz. .
Off to work I go...Weeeeeee!?!!!

Favourite hymn
What A Friend We have In Jesus
by Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1855)
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
