I am very guilty of this, like from 2:00 - 4:30 last night:
"What's going to happen when we lose our health insurance? ...How can I possibly take care of my mom if she falls and breaks her hip...Even though we have two years of food preps the kids will go nuts with no hamburgers after one day...et. al.".
Guilty as charged.
“Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring, the same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day."
I'll try.
He will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.
I don't know if this is always true even among devout Christians. But I do believe there are tremendous graces available even if not strictly true.
PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY
O my Jesus, You said, "verily I say to you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you." Behold, in your name I humbly ask our Heavenly Father to protect every man, woman, and child in our great nation from those who want to delete your name from our society, i.e. on our money, in our courts, and in our schools. Protect us from plans of destruction from which our enemies have plotted.
You, Heavenly Father, are the real foundation of our nation. I thank you for making me a citizen of this land of freedom and unlimited opportunity...which are the results of its Christian base.
Please surround and protect us, and our military with Your love and mercy...in Jesus' name.
Amen
