Episode Description

Jesus assures us that his heavenly Father sees value in each of us, so we should have no fear of anything that threatens our earthly life. The only authority we should fear is that which can separate us from God. Jeremiah understood all about earthly fear, yet he still praised God. The Psalm reminds us that God, in his love and compassion, hears the prayers of the needy. And Saint Paul promises that God’s grace abounds for all who wish to accept that free gift from Jesus. Despite these assurances, these reminders, these promises… we devote more time and attention to worldly concerns rather than heavenly ones. How do we change that way of thinking?
