Quote of the Day

Okay....so i guess it's not really the quote of the day. I've been kind of, like, gone, for the past few months. But I'm trying to post again, really, I'll start off easy with an...adapted quote.

You may have picked up the notion that you must submit by patience to God's will. What He means by this is primarily that you should accept with patience the tribulation which has actually been dealt out to you, the present anxiety and suspense. It is about this that you should say, "Thy will be done," and for the daily task of bearing this that the daily bread will be provided. Think of the present fear as your appointed cross, and not the things you are afraid of. Don't forget that, since all present fears are incompatible, they cannot all happen to you, and do not practice fortitude and patience to them all in advance. For real resignation, at the same moment, to a dozen different and hypothetical fates, is almost impossible. Resignation to present and actual suffering, even where that suffering consists of fear, is far easier. ~ cs lewis
