WOYWW: Nada de Turbe

A glimpse at my work space.
Nothing of much interest to see I guess
except my dirty water and a pile of dirty rags!!!

I read from the Psalms today:
"Only in God is my soul at rest; from Him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold;
I shall not be disturbed at all." Psalm 62:1-2

This reminds me of St. Teresa de Avila's prayer,
Nada De Turbe:

"Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing dismay you,
Everything passes,
God does not change.
Patience overcomes everything,
Who has God lacks nothing.
God alone suffices."

Yes, Lord,
may nothing disturb me.
May I be able to retreat with you,
calm, knowing that You are in control,
that there is nothing impossible with You!
Even if there is turmoil all around,
my mother needing a lot of prayers and caring,
a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Cebu (part of the Philippines)
brought a lot of destruction,
our Congress embroiled in blatant  corruption,
yet will I trust in You
and be not disturbed.

    Dear Patsy
    Oh, our government here in South Africa is also staggering from corruption, dear one. Our economy is going downwards fast because of strikes for higher and higher wages and people lose their jobs by the thousands because of that, and yet my heart rejoice with you in our Lord Jesus for this is all the birth pains He has spoken of!

    Hi Patsy
    you mention a messy desk which is not that bad and you didn't mention the lovely picture which became part of your beautiful journal which always gives such a lovely message for us all to take with us for the day.
    Happy WOYWW have an enjoyable week hugs Ria #22

    Love the quote. An no, your desk is positively pristine compared to mine - and some others I am far too polite to name and shame :)
    As ever your paintings are so lovely....

    Happy WOYWW!
