STEADY

PSALM 66:8-9 (NLT)
Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises.
Our lives are in his hands,
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.

JUDE 1:24-25 (CEV)
Offer praise to God our Savior because of our Lord Jesus Christ! Only God can keep you from falling and make you pure and joyful in his glorious presence. Before time began and now and forever, God is worthy of glory, honor, power, and authority. Amen.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Only God keeps us steady on our feet.

PRAYER
God, only you are worthy of glory, honor, power, and authority. Our lives are in your hands. You keep us on our feet. Yet, I confess that I allow fear of the future to drag me down. There are so many unknowns. Will circumstances overwhelm me? As I identify the fears I give each of them to you, knowing that you will keep me steady on my feet. You've been at this from before time began and I'm going to trust you to carry on through eternity. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
