A Lesson in Abundance
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.—Luke 21:4 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.—Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
If you feel as if there is never enough time in the day, your nerves are frazzled, and you are too tired to think straight, carve out some time and lift your concerns to God. Sit by yourself, close your eyes and empty your mind. These moments keep you in touch with God, who speaks to us when we are relaxed enough to hear His wisdom. Christ said, “The Kingdom of God is within” (Luke 17:21); look quietly inward and discover His Kingdom.
Heavenly Father, help me still my mind so I may hear Your guiding voice.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
