Reflect on His Teachings
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.—Psalm 119:15 (NIV)
But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.—Matthew 14:30 (NLT)
Do you ever have the feeling that you’re in over your head? Maybe an unexpected bill, or a phone call with bad news sends you into a tailspin. Like Peter in the above verse, when you are frightened or worried, it’s okay to cry out to the Lord and know that He will stretch out His hand and catch you.
Father, replace my fears with the belief in Your ability to see me through life’s challenges.
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.—Psalm 119:15 (NIV)
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.—Psalm 113:3 (NIV)
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thought and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?—Psalm 13:1–2 (NIV)
