Let nothing disturb you

When we are stressed or worried about the things in this life, we can turn to God in prayer to draw comfort and strength.

We can also look to the words of Scripture or the writings of Christians who lived long ago that can help too. Below is something written by Teresa of Avila (1515-1582).

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Those who have God lack nothing:
God alone suffices.

This simple passage contains so much truth. It reminds us that we love and serve an unchanging God who is eternal. It also reminds us that all things in this world will pass away. If we have God, He is all we need!
