The Absence of Fear
God, I thank You that you have given me total victory over fear. I believe that because I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God I can live my life free of fear. I cast all my fears upon you and I thank you that you will perfect that which concerns me. Thank you, Father, in Jesus name. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Hope-Inspiring Insight For Your Soul and Spirit
Tomorrow’s Hope-Inspiring Insight For Your Soul and Spirit!
By Gloria Thomas-Anderson
Five years ago, the terrorist attacks on 9-11 occurred against the United States and the horrendous act still resonates in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Loss of life, along with shattered hopes and dreams, affected thousands of families who personally experienced the anguish and disbelief of that tragic day.
Recently, some of you have lost loved ones and hearing those well-meaning words—“be strong…hold onâ€â€”just don’t seem to cut through the pain of a broken heart and spirit. My aunt passed away last week and the tears in my Dad’s eyes spoke silent words of grief and sorrow, no human voice could express.
Although we know that the life cycle begins with birth and ends with death, most people find it difficult to talk about or think about the end of life. Yet, this is one commonality that all humankind must face one day.
Finding hope in such times isn’t easy, whether it happened five years ago or only yesterday. In honor and memory of loved ones, please accept the poetic gift of “Tomorrow’s Hope.†I first wrote it for a friend in 1997 that had lost someone special in her life. May it offer a touch of comfort to those who may be going through a difficult season.
Tomorrow’s Hope
Hope is the substance of renewal and strength
that gives courage to go on.
Hope is the quiet stillness comforting
The soul as a broken heart mourns.
Hope is the light that merges with faith—
a new beginning to be born,
Such is the precious gift of tomorrow’s hope—
a treasured jewel to adorn.
