Thank You for…

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (1Peter 5:7 NVI)

 Prayer: Thank You, dear Jesus, that You’re the greatest problem solver. You came to solve mankind’s biggest problem—our need for redemption and salvation, and forgiveness for our sins. But You didn’t stop there. During Your earthly life You solved so many other problems. When there was no wine at the wedding, You created more wine. When people came to You with their health problems, even ones they’d had for many years, You healed them. When there was no food for the multitudes You were teaching and everyone was hungry, You multiplied the loaves and fishes. When the adulterous woman was about to be stoned, with great wisdom, humility, and love, You not only saved but changed the woman’s life.
 And every day You make Yourself available to help me solve my problems. Thank You for that. I’m only human. I make mistakes. I say and do the wrong things at times. Sometimes I hurt others without meaning to. That’s why I need Your help so much.
Please help me to see problems as challenges, not as dead ends or disasters, knowing that You’re there to help me and that no problem is too big for You. Thank You for how You manage to turn every problem and difficulty I face into a steppingstone to greater progress. I know You have the power to help me solve the problems I face today, so I call on that power now. Amen. —Maria Fontaine [1]

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.—Henry F. Lyte
