Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah – Psalm 62:8 NKJV

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. – Jeremiah 29:13 KJV

Our Lord knows that we are prone to worry, yet He gives us opportunities to see His face and praise His name. He knows our hearts.
Each day He provides us with tiny miracles. God gives us many gifts and abilities. We can focus on being thankful for what we have instead of worrying about what we do not have. He always provides for us. Our Heavenly Father gives good gifts to His children, and He never forgets about us! Amen.
