When something’s keeping you up at night—an unexpected bill, a looming deadline, a need you can’t see your way through—it’s easy to wonder whether those worries are too ordinary to bring to God. Jesus is clear in the next part of the Lord’s Prayer that simply isn’t the case.
Feeling anxious? God gets it. God meets us in our worries and assures us that He’s with us.
What do we think of when we wake up? Psalm 5 suggests we change up our first thoughts of the morning to something more refreshing.
