Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

He is not only with me but in me and I in Him.'

Hell is full of good intentions and wills.
