PROVERBS 18:10 (MSG)
GOD’s name is a place of protection—
good people can run there and be safe.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 (MSG)
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Turn to God with all your concerns and he'll keep you safe.
PRAYER
Over and over again, God, you take care of me. You help me navigate through difficult situations. Yet, over and over again my first response to trouble seems to be worry. I get so worked up over every problem -- as though I can change the outcome through my anxiety. I confess that I'm trying to be in charge. Help me to shift my attention your direction so that I can experience your protection once again. I'm going to give you my concerns -- all of them. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
