The vulnerable
He will not crush the weakest reed
or put out a flickering candle. ~ Isaiah 42:3a (NLT)
The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost. ~ Luke 19:10
KEY THOUGHT:
God will not abandon the vulnerable.
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for looking out for me when I am feeling vulnerable. Forgive me for obsessing with the idea that I have been fogotten. Help me to get on board with your mission to care for the vulnerable so that I can better grasp the extent of your care for me. In Jesus' name I will not fret. Amen.
