Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, worries, and concerns] on Him, for He cares about you.
- 1 Peter 5:7
Life can take us down a trail we never would have imagined for ourselves.
Sometimes, we don’t lean on God because we don’t think our prayers have made a difference.
We can think prayers for ourselves are selfish or what we need is petty compared to the rest of the world.
Answered prayer is the easy way to trust God, but real love can’t be based on constant comfort.
He is worthy of our trust, even when we don’t think He is doing it right!
TODAY: God let me remember that I can bring all my burdens to the foot of the cross, a place where you will always meet me.
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26
With Love,
Paper Sunday
Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is slow down long enough to release what’s weighing on our hearts. Journaling creates space to process your worries honestly and place them back into God’s hands through prayer.
Journal & Reflect
- What worries or anxieties have I been carrying lately?
- What would it look like to fully surrender these burdens to God?
- When have I experienced God’s peace in a difficult season before?
- What truth from Scripture can I hold onto when anxiety rises?
- How can I intentionally trust God more today?
