Look at the birds in the sky! They don’t plant or harvest. They don’t even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren’t you worth more than birds? ~ Matthew 6:26 (CEV)
Heavenly Father,
THANKS: You provide everything that I and my family need. Even though I work it is because you provide the opportunity and resources to work. You are behind everything I receive.
REGRETS: Sometimes I worry that I'm not working hard enough and that at some point everything is going to fall apart. I worry about the economy falling apart and leaving me broke. I worry about the sea rising and swallowing what's important to me.
INTERCESSION: Please save me from worry. Turn me into an ever hopeful person.
PURPOSE: I'm going to look around me and think about the amazing ways that you take care of the birds, the fish, the dogs, and cats -- and even the stupid people. If it were not for you everything would fall apart. I'm going to trust you for all my concerns.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
