Matthew 6:25-27
In our busy and demanding lives, we often doubt God’s provision and rely on our own strength. We may think our success is solely based on our own efforts because we are consumed with our anxieties. However, Jesus reminds us that God is our provider and that we should not to worry about our lives because he is enough to calm our fears.
God provides for all of his creation, whether that be birds of the air or humankind. In fact, we are his most precious creation. So, we should put our faith in God because he cares about us deeply, in a way that cannot be measured by human standards. For this reason, we should surrender ourselves in Him and trust in His perfect provision in our lives.
CLOSING PRAYER
Gracious Father, in the midst of our busy lives, help us to rest in the assurance that you are our ultimate provider and sustainer. Help us to not rely on ourselves, but turn to you when facing anxiety and fear. Thank You for caring for all of creation, and for loving us in a way that goes beyond our understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen
