To be human is to feel anxious and to worry about life.
It boils down to our human need for security about the present and about the future.
But because we know that life is so unpredictable, we can never feel secure enough.
And as much as we try to prepare for the unexpected, yet we also know by know there can be no preparation for the unexpected.
So, all that leaves us with anxiety and worry.
Like what the people said in the 1st reading: My destiny is hidden from the Lord, my rights are ignored by my God.
But the 1st reading also says this about God: Who made the stars and drills them like an army? So mighty is his power, so great is his strength, that not one fails to answer.
Yes, the Lord is an everlasting God, He gives strength to the wearied, He strengthens the powerless.
Those who hope in the Lord renew their strength, they put out wings like eagles, they run and do not grow weary, walk and never tire.
But first, let us listen to the call of Jesus to come to Him and He will grant us rest.
Even though our anxieties and worries won’t disappear, but we will know that the love of Jesus will give strength to keep on going in life and even have hope for the future.
