This is attributed to St. Francis de Sales and was passed on to me by a very wise friend --
"Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather look to them with full hope as they arise. God, whose very own you are, will deliver you from out of them. He has kept you hitherto, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand it, God will bury you in His arms. Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you then and everyday. He will either shield you from suffering, or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. BE AT PEACE and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations."
If I don't remember anything else from this, being buried in the arms of God is an image that is worth holding on to!
