Because you’ve always stood up for me,
I’m free to run and play.
ROMANS 8:31 (CEV)
If God is on our side, can anyone be against us?
SUMMARY SENTENCE
With God on our side we don't need to worry over the future.
DAILY FODDER
What about the future worries you? Box up the worry and put it on the shelf. Pull the box off periodically to ask God if there is something new he wants you to do about the conern. But then reshelf it, assuming that he's going to work out the future.
PRAYER
Faithful and trustworthy God, I celebrate your unrelenting attention. Forgive me for occasionally losing sight of your protection and for worrying over what's to come. Save me from this worry and the recklessness that surfaces when I try to handle things myself. I know that my enemies, real and imagined, are powerless when you're on our side. So I want to be on your side. 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.
