Following the Truth: Worrying About Finances? Here’s A Message From Jesus…

I struggle with a belief in a benevolent God. What about kids who starve in the Sudan don’t they count?

I'm told they get a free ticket to "heaven" because of their innocence, according to some here. So all is good.

Philosopher Peter Kreeft on the meaning of suffering This is long, but the thought process is important.

Jesus Saves!

“Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”

“Do you not see the Madonna always beside the tabernacle?”

“The longer the trial to which God subjects you, the greater the goodness in comforting you during the time of the trial and in the exaltation after the combat. “

“Keep close to the Catholic Church at all times, for the Church alone can give you true peace, since she alone possesses Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, in the Blessed Sacrament.”

“Fear not because God is with you.”

“Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.”

“Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: “Today, if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart.” Let us not put off from one moment to another (what we should do) because the (next moment) is not yet ours. “

“Oh, how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praiseworthy manner!”

“The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain.”

Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Prudent stewardship is useful, although it doesn’t guarantee financial security. Fear and anxiety aren’t useful at all.

Thanks for the link.

Great quotoes! Thanks.

LOL! quotes!

There is an excellent charity called “Food for the Poor”. What makes them so great is that they are very efficient with their funds. Most of what you give goes to the poor, they keep very little for administration expenses. YOu can also donate (through the of course) the means to construct water wells, and stuff like fruit trees, livestock, etc. We’ve been very happy with this charity.

There are some other links about worrying in this list. It must be one of the author's favorite subjects.
