You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You. 

⏤  Isaiah 26:3

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love, and the future to God's providence. 

⏤ St. Augustine

You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because you trusts in God!  This is a take on the Bible verse, we can have peace when we trust in God! When we follow Jesus. And yes, like St. Augustine says too, trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love, and the future to God's providence! This is what we need to do, trust! 

The Mornings with God App had a great message today, they said, "Father, days come and go, bringing change and decay, but You remain the same forever. A thousand years in Your sight are like a single day. With You, there is no past or future; all time is present to You. Yet in our small lives, we need daily blessings. The memories of our past sorrows cast shadows on our present, and our fears for the future often cast shadows on our path. We are grateful that You see and know everything—past, present, and future—and that we can safely leave it all in Your hands. Help us to live faithfully in this little day that is ours, leaving the past and future with You, without worrying. So, we ask for Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, enabling us to be true and faithful in all our duties. We ask You, O Lord, to give us the strength and wisdom we need for today’s responsibilities and experiences. Let nothing surprise or dishearten us. Hold our hand through every situation. Give us wisdom to answer every question and make every decision in a way that pleases You. Strengthen us to resist temptation, no matter how subtly it approaches. Increase Your love within us so that we may be patient with everyone we meet, compassionate toward those who are sorrowful, cheerful with those who are discouraged, and helpful to those who are weak. Send us out to do Your work so that everything we do today is for You. Breathe upon us as we wait here in Your presence and give us Your blessing as our Father. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen."

God wants to give us blessings each new day, each new moment. He wants us to know Him! to go to Him. To trust in Him! Have you noticed in your life the power of God? How when you were younger you never really tried hard to know Him, yet He was looking out for you, protecting you, guiding you? As you age, you are confronted with many problems in life, you often need to turn to God for support and help. It helps, trusting in the Lord. As we are older thinking of our future, we need to trust in God's providence that He is always there for us, He always has been, always will, He loves us so much. His mercy and grace are so great. The care, guardianship, and control exercised by our God, His divine direction is all we really need. He will never fail us, when we put our trust in Him! Hi mercy, love and providence are all we need for peace in our lives! Yes, like it said in the mass reading for today's Psalm, the Lord upholds me!
