Good morning FBF. Today, I want you to know that God sees you and knows you! I know it often feels like nobody understands or can see what you are going through, but God does. Sometimes we feel like we are at our wits end, but somehow God throws us a hope and says, "hold on dear child, I'm here for you!" Today I want you to know that you can cast all of your cares upon him for he cares for you. He cares so much, that he gave his life to save humanity from destruction. So talk to him about what you are facing. Ask what he desires for you before your plans are already established, and request that he help you through this maze called life.
Life is often filled with joy, but there are times when we are in sorrow's valley and don't know what to do. This is the best time to invite Jesus into the valley with you, asking him for strength, peace, and direction. Why? Because he is well-acquainted with the valley, and he knows the mountain peaks as well. He declares, "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys" ~ Song of Solomon 2:1.
The word declares, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." ~ Psalms 55:22
Let us pray: Oh gracious Father, I thank you that you are always with me. You are my comfort and my guide in troubled times. Even when my heart feels overwhelmed, please lead me to the ROCK that is higher than I. Please led me, guide me, and order my steps least I fall or stray. For you are the only rock that is unmovable, untethered from the storms of life, and never failing. I call upon you to help me, correct me, strengthen me, and even save me from destruction and danger. Help me to listen to you and gently yield to your tender care. Help me to know that I can safely trust in whatever you say. Don't let me be deceived or stray from the path of your choice. Lead me and keep me. I pray for strength, I pray for courage, I pray for humility, and I pray for your forgiveness. For all of the times I ignored your voice, as if I had all of the answers, please forgive me. Help me to be humble. Please keep me in your care. In Jesus name, Amen.
Remember: His eyes are upon you! Much love.
