PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for warning me about the dangers of trusting my fears and doubts. Intercede for me, Lord. I become so easily influenced to want things that are contrary to your will. Let the envious distractions in my world grow dim. Help me to keep focused on your sufficiency throughout my day. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
