God is our refuge and our strength,
an ever-present help in distress.
Therefore we fear not, though the earth be shaken
and mountains plunge into the depths of the sea. - Psalm 46:2-3

Sometimes, it really does seem like our earth is being shaken to its very core. Everything is going wrong. The world seems against us. There is illness and pain and suffering. In our darkest hours, we need to rely on God most of all. Even when it seems he has left us to our own devices, we need to continue to trust, continue to pray, and continue to rest in his love. He is still there, guarding our path, even we can't see it.
