Today's Verse

VERSE:
  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
   -- 1 Peter 5:7
      

THOUGHT:
  So often our worries are so heavy because we refuse to put them
down. Let's cast our burdens on the Lord. Let's consciously put our
future in his hands. Let's trust our worrisome fears to his care.
We know he loves us and longs to sustain and comfort us because of
what he has done to save us.

PRAYER:
  Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears,
worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have
so little power to change the outcome of these events and
situations that can cause me to have these anxious feelings.
However, dear Father, I trust that you will work what is pleasing
to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my
anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that
robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you
more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
