Hey, Everybody, put your unrelenting trust in God. Pour out your hearts to him. For God is your safe place.
LUKE 6:12 (CEB)
During that time, Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night long.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Pour your hearts out to God because it is the safe thing to do.
DAILY FODDER
Not everyone can spend a night on a mountain praying. What do you do to position yourself for earnest prayer?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I'm amazed that you listen to ordinary people like me. I can't imagine that I could spend a whole night praying on a mountain. But you know what I can and should do better than I do. You're the one who wired me. And you wired me to trust you with every challenge that comes my way. Forgive my stoicism and self-confidence. Convert it all to God-confidence. You are my safe place. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
