Answer my prayers, O Lord,<\/em><\/strong>
\n for your unfailing love is wonderful.<\/em><\/strong>
\nTake care of me,<\/em><\/strong>
\n for your mercy is so plentiful. (Psalm 69:16)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It may feel as though few people care about the challenges you are facing today, but God cares. And His care is really all that matters. Let\u2019s put our full trust and confidence in His loving care today.<\/p>\n

My Father,<\/em><\/p>\n

You are a good Father. You never change, grow weary of me, or tire of helping me. If your Word says you care, then I choose to trust in that care. I place every burden I carry in your hands today. [Name them one by one as they come to mind.]<\/em><\/p>\n

I entrust my very soul into your care. I will not worry for one moment. I refuse fear, for my Father cares for me and He is well aware of every critical issue I am facing today. I will not be discouraged. I will not be moved off of this strong stance of faith. I will stand my ground and declare that God is good! You care for me! I can, therefore, live a carefree life, free from heaviness, oblivious to the confusion and quandaries the enemy of my soul tries to engage me in.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for your loving care for me and all that is important to me. Teach me to trust you more and more every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Jesus\u2019 Name Amen<\/em><\/p>\n

Even when you are chased by those who seek to kill you, your life is safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch! (1 Samuel 25:29)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
