He cares.
Matthew 6:7-8
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him
So Many Things
He cares. Are you worried about many different things this morning? Have the bills been piling up? How can you make that money stretch? How can you be in all these different places, and be all these things to so many different people?
Life is not easy to say the least. There’s always a long list. You always wonder if you are doing right by your children, at your job, with your spouse. It’s hard to see how you can give 100% to more than one thing.
He Knows
God knows just what kind of help we need and exactly when we need it. He sends it when we don’t even think to ask Him sometimes, doesn’t He?
Vs. 8 says He knows the things we have need of before we even ask Him. I am so thankful. There have been so many times I’ve been overwhelmed with life and didn’t even know what I needed and the only words I could get out were “Lord, please help me”. He showed up every single time. I am sure you can recall similar times.
Cast your Cares on Him
Our prayers don’t have to be big, fancy, long drawn out speeches to get His attention or show Him how Holy we think we are. Just come to Him as you are. Tired, frazzled, confused and worn out. That’s when He does His best work, because we aren’t trying to do it for Him.
Cast your cares on Him because He cares for you!
1 Peter 5:7, Philippians 4:19, Philippians 4:6-7
*** Lord thank you for never leaving me. For always providing for us and leading me to where I need to be. I know without you my life, and my mind would be an absolute mess. Lord, I come before you now and ask you to “help me”. Help me with all the things that have piled up on my plate. I may not know what to do but I know You do. Thank you for your goodness and mercy, Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.****
