You can see it in the adverts on TV and radio and in their slogans. And sadly, people are distancing themselves from God.<br /><br />On our TV often you get comments/jokes from comedians and others that imply if you believe in God then there is something wrong with you. Their message is that God does not exist. And they DO influence vulnerable minds.<br /><br />God bless you my friend.

Let them talk and show images and demand this and that. Adhering to true values together with lots of prayer will see us through.<br />Excellent post and so much needed nowadays!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-38933425322492832582021-07-31T12:36:19.368-07:002021-07-31T12:36:19.368-07:00Good advice but I really don't worry much.

Sometimes it works better than others. One really can only concentrate on one thing at a time, so concentrate on the good things and let God guide. Thank you for this timely reminder. So many things are forced upon us by so many sources it is often impossible to ignore them. God bless you.

Lots of my anxiety is (I think) what they call 'free-floating.' Sure, in my younger years I used to get frightened once in a while -- say, if I had to fly somewhere. But now, I've turned into my mother -- fretting and 'what-iffing' over every little thing. <br />I like what someone in Bible study said a while back: "Faith is fear that's put its shoes on."
