Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our worries are often heavy because we refuse to put them down. We don't cast our burdens upon the Lord. Let's consciously put our future in his hands TODAY. Let's trust our worrisome fears to his care TODAY. We know he loves us. We know he longs to sustain and comfort us because of what he has done to save us in Jesus. Let's cast all of our anxiety on the LORD TODAY, because he cares for each of us!

My 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, but I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you and best for me, out of all of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my 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.
