Greetings to all the friends and brothers in Christ.

I am pleased to begin this message by telling a story, where several years ago, a submarine sank with all its crew to the height of the Atlantic coast of North America. When the ship was finally found, the divers were sent to assess the damage and the possibility of rescuing the wreck.
When the divers approached the hull of the ship, they were surprised by a blow. It was evident that someone was alive inside the submarine. The message was a desperate question against the walls of the water tomb: is there hope? There is hope?

You and I ask ourselves the same question when we have to face a particular problem or when a tragedy touches us closely. After all, who is totally free of the immense pain of losing a loved one, of the frustration of unemployment, of the anguish of a shattered home or of hundreds of other difficulties?

We feel trapped and submerged by the weight of circumstances and ask: Is there hope? Is there really hope to solve this problem?

Often, on those occasions, we remember the words of Romans 8:28: "And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, that is, for those who are called according to their purpose" . We must bear in mind that Paul did not say: "We understand how all things work together for good", but he said: "we know that they help well". This promise is a sure anchor when the storms of life strike us mercilessly.

The apostle Paul had claimed this promise many times, even before writing his famous letter to the Romans. He knew what it was like to suffer difficulties, persecution, indifference, betrayal, loneliness, illness, stones, flogging, shipwrecks, nakedness, hunger and thirst, lack of sleep, tremendous pressures.

What prevented Paul from sinking? I believe that your total trust in the God who promises to sustain us happens what will happen. At the end of his life, he could say: "I know in whom I have believed, and I am sure that I can keep what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return" (2 Timothy 1:12). What had Paul confided to God? His own life.

In the Old Testament we read: "You shall keep him in perfect peace, whose mind abides in you, because he has trusted in you" (Isaiah 26: 3). This promise is also meant for us today, as it is repeatedly revealed in the New Testament.

Do you face a difficulty, friend - of the block chain?
Leave your life once again in the hands of the Lord. Then believe from the heart of the words of Philippians 4: 6-7: "Do not worry about anything, pray for everything." Present your needs to God and then do not stop thanking Him for your answers. the peace of God, which is so extraordinarily wonderful that the human mind can never understand, His peace will keep your thoughts and your heart in the stillness and repose of faith in Jesus Christ. "

When the storms of life seem overwhelming, God wants us to experience His perfect peace.
