Today's Word
Entrust your worries and anxieties to the Lord
Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
- Psalm 55:22
Is there something worrying you today? Surrender it to the Lord! Don’t despair over what you cannot solve right now. Trust in God in the midst of your anguish and wait on Him. Lift your eyes, focus on the Lord, and remember that you serve the Almighty God. He will act at the right time.
Talk to God about what makes you anxious, you can draw near to Him in prayer, tell Him what’s weighing you down, and receive His peace. See what the book of Philippians says about this:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:6–7
Therefore, trust: God will sustain you in any situation because He never abandons His children. The heavenly Father will give you peace and guard your heart so that you can remain steadfast in faith.
The Lord will not let you fall, lean on the strong arms of your loving Father and stand firm in Him. You will see how God will lift you up so that you can continue on the path He has set for you. Always trust in the Lord!

Lord, open my eyes
And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
- 2 Kings 6:17
The Syrian army had surrounded the prophet Elisha and Gehazi, his servant. The king of Syria had ordered that Elisha be captured immediately. However, Elisha’s heart remained calm because he could see the army of the Lord surrounding and protecting them.
Gehazi, however, was very worried and asked what they should do. Elisha reassured him:
Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
- 2 Kings 6:16
Immediately, Elisha prayed for God to open the eyes of his servant, and God did so. All fear in Gehazi’s heart disappeared, and his heart was filled with confidence. God was with them, and His army was protecting them; therefore, there was nothing to fear.
Where are you focusing your eyes today? On problems and bad news, or on the incomparable power of God? Ask God to open your eyes so that today you can see His movement in your life and in situations that seem impossible. Stay alert to God’s power and His care for you. He is working!

Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
