In times of uncertainty I like to remember John 16:33:  

“These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” 

We can get five really good thoughts to reassure us from this verse: 

1. This is Jesus’ direct reassurance for us, from Him! 
2. In Jesus we find our comfort – not in the news, statistics or worldly things. 
3. Bad things happen, but … 
4. We can still find peace and joy even with that knowledge because … 
5. Jesus died for us so that we have eternity to look forward to. Bad things happen here, but we are working for things above! 

In Him, 

Todd
