Little Things

Categories: Despair, Prayer, Worry

A past regret?
Despair over what has gone?
A scary future?
Worry about what’s to come?

Do you think about yesterday’s failures?
Have fearful thoughts about tomorrow?
Return to today; focus on God
He’ll fill you with joy; remove all sorrow.

What is right in front of you?
Currently available?
Surrender it to the Lord
He’ll do that for which you’re incapable

As your trust in God grows
He’ll ask, “What’s in your hand?”
Just give your little to Him
Watch it miraculously expand.

Exodus 4:2
Matthew 14:13-21

PRAYER
Dear God, help me not to worry or fret but to entrust my life, both past and future, into your keeping. Enable me to focus on the opportunities before me so that I can better serve you now.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU WILL RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE.
