NO WORRIES

PSALM 145:15-16 (NLT)
The eyes of all look to you in hope;
you give them their food as they need it.
When you open your hand,
you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.


LUKE 12:22-24 (CEB)
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore, I say to you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. There is more to life than food and more to the body than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither plant nor harvest, they have no silo or barn, yet God feeds them. You are worth so much more than birds!

SUMMARY SENTENCE
No need to stress -- God will provide what you need.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for attending to all my needs. Forgive me for giving into worry when things get tight. Use your indwelling Holy Spirit to rewire my disposition so that I'm more completely relaxed. I'm not going to worry because I know that you've got it. Amen.
