Since I'm with you, you don't need to be afraid. Stop your trembling, for I am your God.
MATTHEW 21:15 (MSG)
...all the children running and shouting through the Temple, “Hosanna to David’s Son!”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Once we truly recognize the presence of God our fears give way to unbridled praise.
DAILY FODDER
How would you respond to children running through the temple shouting praise?
PRAYER
God, we're truly blessed by your presence. Sometimes I'm so distracted by the craziness of the world—national unrest, blowhard politicans, pandemics, hate mongers, and environmental indifference—that I fail to notice you and slip into anxiety. Rescue me from the distractions so that I can recognize you and what you're doing here. I'm going to trust your Holy Spirit to turn my fear into praise. 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!
