WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for a second chance to turn wrongs into rights.

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. They know that omorrow is never promised; therefore, continuously cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad. They know that with you, they can make it through their adversities, trials, obstacles, setbacks, and/or challenges.

Father, help them to realize that life is so much better with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, than without you. Help them to cling to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, always trusting in you for all things.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
