It must be a nightmare of a job to be Prime Minister. Everybody expects you to fix everything.

Apparently, Gordon Brown recently received a letter from an 11-year old girl, telling him she was worried that she might not get work when she left school. His answer was like this: you are 11 years old, so try not to worry too much. Forget about the future and enjoy your life. But, of course, the problem is we can’t help thinking about the future. I can enjoy my life now but what about tomorrow — where is it all going? Peter says to his readers, when you believed in Jesus Christ and the resurrection, living hope came into your life.

Praise God, you have a certain future, vv.3-5
