June 8, 1997



June 8, 1997  

Pain is pain.  But fear is misery.  Pain is now, but fear of pain poisons the future.  Besides physical pain, I may fear the pain of disgrace, loneliness, loss and other problems.  Today, however, I ask God for the strength to embrace more problems and to work to solve those problems.  In so doing, I can place my old problems in better perspective, develop the problem-solving muscles God has given me, better serve God by helping those in need, and free myself from fear of problems.
