Worries and Cares

The protector of Israel never dozes or sleeps. ~ Psalm 121:4 (GNT)

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. ~ 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Rely on God to take care of the problems.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for staying awake. I know that I need to trust you with all the problems. However, I like to hold onto them and find solutions on my own. That doesn't work out so well. Help me to get my strategy straight. I'm going to give all my worries and cares to you, for I know that you care about me. Amen.
