-
Today, we are going to start with a prayer.
-
Repeat this after me.
-
Jesus, I trust you to provide for all my needs.
-
Help me not to strive or operate in my own strength.
-
Instead, let me turn to you.
-
Often we want God to give us the whole plan, the full picture, and every answer ahead of time.
-
But so often, He invites us to trust Him one day at a time.
-
Contentment grows when we learn to receive today's provision instead of anxiously reaching for tomorrow's.
-
God is a faithful Father who knows exactly what you need.
-
Spend a few moments thanking God for his daily provision in your life.
-
Think about the ways he has sustained you physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
-
Now, let's bring our needs before the Lord honestly today.
-
Rather than focusing on what you don't have yet, ask him to help you recognize what he is already providing.
-
Allow him to quiet anxious striving and help you trust him for today.
-
Ask him to form gratitude and dependence in your heart.
-
Remember that God is already caring for you.
-
Let yourself receive today instead of fearing for tomorrow.
-
Let's take the next couple seconds and pray for them and ask God to intervene in their situation.
-
We trust your faithful care and call you provider, and we bring ourselves back to this truth today.
-
Amen.
