Praying, Giving and Receiving - a special series for Lent on Matthew's Gospel, written by Peter Graystone
Matthew 6:25
Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Christians walk the same paths and stumble into the same emergencies as everyone else. But there is a difference. We are not at the mercy of a random fate; we are under the watchful concern of an all-powerful Creator.
So when a crisis arises, we know what to do first. Pray! No matter what misfortune may befall us, it can do no harm to our innermost being, which is safe in God's hands.
God, this is sometimes hard. I do worry about my life, what people think of me, what I am doing, or what lies ahead of me. I really want to trust you more as I know I am in your hands. Help me to focus on you as you walk beside me in all I do. Amen
