God's awareness
You are aware of all the ways of humanity... ~ Jeremiah 32:19 (CEB)
We have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, but especially of those who have faith. ~ 1 Timothy 4:10 (CEV)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Put your trust in God because he sees and acts on our behalf.
PRAYER
Good God, nothing escapes your notice, yet you still love us. That boggles my mind. Forgive me for hesitating in my trust. I get overwhelmed by circumstances and start to wonder if anyone knows what's going on. Stir anew faith -- trust in your awareness and compassion. I'm going to move forward with hope in Christ Jesus who conquered death and who will overcome the craziness of the world around me. Amen.
