The President of the United States has called for a National Day of Prayer today. How appropriate this is amidst the health and financial challenges and uncertainties we are facing.

Paul writes in Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” NET

Simply put, Pray for what you want, be thankful for what you get, and receive the unexplainable peace of trusting God.

Dear Lord, thank you for hearing our prayers and giving us what we need. Give us the peace that can only come from trusting you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
