You should never be discouraged

At a time when David Cameron has warned Britons that 2011 will be a much tougher year, a little-known man in East London is giving out a much warmer message: don’t be discouraged.

This Sunday, the Rev Peter Stow of St Mark’s church in Forest Gate told locals that despite the difficulties in life there is still hope. He said this as part of his New Year’s Message.

Peter said that everyone carries a baggage, some might carry a bag of loneliness, some might carry unemployment, and others might carry lots of debts.

However, we should not worry about the burden, because God cares for each one of us and he is going to carry it for us. We should share our worries with God.

It is the first service to be held this year in this Anglican Church, and it gathers around a hundred people from the local parish.
