We will face some problems we cannot solve, some situations we cannot change. That's when we may feel like panicking, but it is the time to stand still and wait for the Lord's deliverance.

I face my future peacefully and calmly because I know I am enough

Every day, God has something to say to you. Even when He seems to be quiet, God is still saying something.
