Heavenly Father, thank you that when everything around me seems to be in turmoil and chaos, you are my light and my salvation. Instead of allowing fear to overwhelm me, I put my trust in you, knowing that I will see your goodness in the land of the living.  I am strong in you and take heart in your promises. Fill me with joy.
