If you have Jesus in your life, everything else, every problem or trial you can encounter is trivial. While your day-to-day issues are real and demand your attention and time, they are nothing compared to the power of Christ in your life. They are temporary; God is forever. There is nothing to fear - not car problems, not money issues, not problems at work - as long as you keep Christ as the anchor of your life.
