This will pass

Life is full of up's and down's. It's natural, part of humanity. And what would the up's be without the down's anyway? The old proverb 'The shadow proves the sunshine' rings true to me. Many have written on how we could never experience the joy and richness of life without experiencing it's depths. And without it's depths how would we grow and build strength of character?

Nevertheless, the depths, the down times are hard. Anxiety, fear and 'the blues' are not good bedfellows. Neither are they easy to shake off.

There is nothing much we can do in these times but hope and pray. My constant prayer at the moment is for God's peace. Friends and family are important too. 'A burden shared is a burden halved' or so they saying goes. The relief of knowing someone else cares is so important.
