Prayer

Jesus taught us to come to Him when we're overwhelmed and heavy-laden (Matthew 11:28), so speak honestly to your Father about what frightens you.

Father, I'm anxious about disaster—the losses that could come, the suffering I've seen others face. I confess that sometimes I live like You aren't watching over me. I want to trust You, but trust feels risky when the world feels fragile. Show me where I'm being foolish and where I need to take real precautions. Help me see that You are genuinely good and genuinely near—not someday, but now. Make me the kind of person who sees danger and runs to You first. In Jesus' name, Amen.
