TRUSTWORTHY

Christ the King Sunday

NAHUM 1:7 (NLT)
The LORD is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him.


MATTHEW 7:7 (NLT)
Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. 
Keep on seeking, and you will find. 
Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Keep on trusting God for whatever you need. 
 
DAILY FODDER
I don't worry about how to handle the future because I've seen how God has provided up to this point. He's trustworthy.

PRAYER
Faithful God, you've made your presence known in times of rest and times of tension. Thank you. Forgive me for allowing anxiety into my life—contrary to my experience with you. Keep me focused. Keep me persistent. Keep me trusting. I'm going to celebrate your faithfulness by trusting you. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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!
