“Foresight is a good thing as long as it is subjected to God and His plans– but it becomes excessive when we put ourselves out to avoid something we apprehend. We expect more from our own endeavors than from God’s Providence and we imagine we are doing much when we anticipate His orders by our disorders, showing that we rely more upon human prudence than upon His word.” (CCD 4:346)
– St. Vincent de Paul~
– Heavenly Father, free me from excessive fear and anxiety. Give me the courage to risk when necessary, knowing you will be my comfort and support, even if I fail.
