Take it easy!" we hear heaven tell us. Come into God's presence with patience that depends on Him but is also sure of Him. How, though? We know that, over time, God will do what is best for us. The Bible is God's story (HIS-story). It is the best proof that He always keeps His promises, is kind in His ability to save, and loves His children a lot. So, when you're in His presence, be ready to be still, patient, trusting, and hopeful.

Prayer

Father, in this quiet moment, I'm trying to relax in Your presence and bring all of my worries and concerns to You. I hope that You, dear Father, will do good things in my life. I trust You with my soul, with my future, and with my hope. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
