GOD KNOWS

PSALM 127:2 (MSG)
It’s useless to rise early and go to bed late, 
     and work your worried fingers to the bone.
Don’t you know he enjoys
     giving rest to those he loves?


MATTHEW 6:8 (NLT)
Your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Rest in the knowledge that none of your needs escape God's attention.

PRAYER
Thank you, loving God, for attending to all our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. Nothing escapes your attention. Forgive me for pushing myself and others as though we have to make everything happen. Help me to relax under the watchful eye of your care. I'm going to leave everything in your hands. Amen.
