Should we be afraid of what is happening in the world?

We live in a time of turmoil. Earthquakes and tsunamis wreak devastation, governments collapse, economic stresses are severe, the family is under attack, and divorce rates are rising. We have great cause for concern. But we do not need to let our fears displace our faith. We can combat those fears by strengthening our faith. … Let your faith be focused on our loving Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
