You who honor the LORD, trust in the LORD!
MATTHEW 6:26 (CEB)
Look at the birds in the sky. They don’t sow seed or harvest grain or gather crops into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Trust the Lord to take care of you.
DAILY FODDER
If we're trusting God to take care of us, why do we have to work?
PRAYER
Attentive God, if you care for the birds how much more do you care about us—those whom you've called to partner with you in caring for the birds. Thank you for the breadth of your care. Forgive me for worrying about the situation in the world. Help me to be appropriately concerned but without worry. Show me what it means to trust you in 2024. I'm going to let you take care of me. 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 wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
