God's Peace

Do you ever feel like you just can't keep your head above water? Maybe you have lost a relationship that you treasure. Maybe things aren't going well at work. Maybe life in general is just tough.

Recently I came across a quote that brought tears and comfort at the same time. It's by Samuel Johnson, a guy who lived about 300 years ago.

"Happy are they...who shall learn...not to despair, but shall remember, that though the day is past, and their strength is wasted, there yet remains one effort to be made; that reformation is never hopeless, nor sincere endeavors ever unassisted; that the wanderer may at length return after all his errors, and that he who implores strength and courage from above shall find danger and difficulty give way before him."

The message here is that nothing is hopeless with God.  He keeps us afloat no matter what.  What do you think?
