Troubled

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me." (John 14:1 NLT) This verse reminds me of the constancy of God's answers to our prayers. We ask and then let the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ take care of the problem. It maybe issues with health, relationships, or the workplace. Whatever it is, we are to trust in Him. Believing in His strength, our trust will turn into tranquility. 

Plans

Before races volunteers pray beside each race car for its driver. The dangers of racing are well documented with videos and photos of horrific crashes. These events bring that day’s racing to a stop.

Life has “crashes” as well, which cause our schedules to come to a halt. It may be a parent who sits up all night or stays home from work because of a sick child. Your boss calls and tells you to fly to Chicago tomorrow to check on a large account. Maybe you become suddenly ill and are admitted to the hospital. These calamities and detours wreck our plans.

In Jeremiah 29:11 God says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Pray to know God’s plans for your life. It might be the Lord wants you to pray for your pastor daily.
