Devotional Reflection
In a universe so unimaginably big and a world with so many different kinds of things, we can feel so small and helpless that we can't do anything. But when we have simple faith, we can be calmed by our respect and dependence on the One who made and keeps these wonders going, and it gives us a lot of comfort to know that our lives are in His hands.
Prayer
I'm grateful that you know me, Almighty and Wonderful God, even though I can't begin to imagine your majesty. I require your presence, love, concern, blessing, grace, and protection. I have nothing of lasting value without you. Please come close. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
You've probably had something like this happen to you. Someone wants to know how you are. At first, they seem interested, but as you talk about the things that are bothering you, you realize that they aren't really listening or interested; they're just being nice. Most people already have so many things to worry about that they don't know what to do with more. Our Heavenly Father, on the other hand, says, "Don't worry about anything. You can tell me about all of them, because I really care about you.
Prayer
Father, in so many ways, I have been blessed. We really appreciate it. I do have some really heavy things that bother me, though. Please take care of the following things in a way that helps everyone and brings You the most praise. (Please tell the Lord what's on your mind and what's bothering you.) Thank You for listening to what I have to say and what's in my heart. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
