You will not have to worry about sudden disasters... The LORD will keep you safe.
MATTHEW 14:26-27 (GNT)
When they saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. “It's a ghost!” they said, and screamed with fear.
Jesus spoke to them at once. “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don't be afraid!”
THE ESSENCE
Jesus is our safety zone.
DAILY FODDER
Practically speaking, how do you turn your worries over to Jesus, disarming fear?
PRAYER
From wars that wreak destruction to storms that overwhelm, we are reminded how frail life can be and how quickly tragedy can appear. Delivering Savior, help me not to seek perfect worldly security as a defense against the unpredictable but to act in the confidence that comes from knowing you have conquered death for my sake. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)

with what is happening in heaven.
