daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? The turmoil and strife we encounter on this earth can be so overwhelming but we have solace and we have a peace from God that is not even understandable. I had a harrowing experience the other day while driving. I thought,"ruh roh...this is gonna hurt" but to my amazement, I didn't get frightened but keenly attuned to what was happening. When it was over, that nervous laughter ensued and I realized that it shouldn't have turned out as well as it did. Of course thanksgiving followed. "Thank you Lord" and "well I guess it ain't my time yet" were spoken aloud. We all encounter things that baffle us and often we cant for the life of us figure out why those things are happening. Then there are those times that we realize what we did and thusly, we're about to reap what was sown. Our Lord knows us better than anyone including ourselves and he knows what the consequences of our actions will bring therefore why do we not do what God says and leave the fallout to him? Think about that...

Luke 12:4-7
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
NIV

Matt 6:26-27
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
NIV
