One of my favorite scriptures is 1 Peter 5: 7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Throughout my Christian life, I have come to embrace that scripture, and it has changed the way I handle my challenges and the ones people share with me. We must come to terms with the fact that we are not problem solvers. We must acknowledge Him when we feel overwhelmed and helpless. The effects of anxiety may elude us, and we will fail to notice...

We are in a season of protest, riots, and a call for change. People from many races and ethnicities are speaking out for what has been ignored for many years.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said it best “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character”.

In the bible, the phrase “but I have raised you for this very purpose…” can be used when referring to all people.
