  1. Today, we are going to start with a prayer.

  2. Repeat this after me.

  3. Jesus, I trust you to provide for all my needs.

  4. Help me not to strive or operate in my own strength.

  5. Instead, let me turn to you.

  6. Often we want God to give us the whole plan, the full picture, and every answer ahead of time.

  7. But so often, He invites us to trust Him one day at a time.

  8. Contentment grows when we learn to receive today's provision instead of anxiously reaching for tomorrow's.

  9. God is a faithful Father who knows exactly what you need.

  10. Spend a few moments thanking God for his daily provision in your life.

  11. Think about the ways he has sustained you physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

  12. Now, let's bring our needs before the Lord honestly today.

  13. Rather than focusing on what you don't have yet, ask him to help you recognize what he is already providing.

  14. Allow him to quiet anxious striving and help you trust him for today.

  15. Ask him to form gratitude and dependence in your heart.

  16. Remember that God is already caring for you.

  17. Let yourself receive today instead of fearing for tomorrow.

  18. Let's take the next couple seconds and pray for them and ask God to intervene in their situation.

  19. We trust your faithful care and call you provider, and we bring ourselves back to this truth today.

  20. Amen.
