"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."  Matthew 5:5

• Trust God completely; affirm what he "has done  for us" already and decide to trust him for the future.
• Turn control over to God, knowing his plan for us is absolutely perfect and that all things happen just as he decided long ago.
• Be totally confident that God will protect us-that even if we experience pain and loss, he will be right there giving us the strength to survive and grow through the experience.

This does not mean we are to be a "doormat."  If we are truly "in Christ and Christ in us,"  we have the power, love, strength, talent, peace, faith and self-control through our Savior.  To God Be The Gory.
