PSALM 18:6 (MSG)
MARK 4:38 (CEV)
Jesus was in the back of the boat with his head on a pillow, and he was asleep. His disciples woke him and said, “Teacher, don't you care that we're about to drown?”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God ushers us to the front of the line when we call out to him for help.
DAILY FODDER
Have you ever felt like your problems were not worth God's attention? How desperate should a person be before they call out to God for help? What do you think God's perspective is on this?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for listening and responding to my pleas for help. As I look back on things I realize that you intervene in even the smallest of crises. How come I am so hesitant to admit that I can't function without your assistance? Help me to relax during the stormiest of times. Because I know that you're on duty I'm going to become a non-anxious presence among Jesus' storm-worn disciples. 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.
