“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 (NIV)
Lord God, it’s easy for me to find things to worry about. But today I cling to the truth in Matthew 10:29-31, which reminds me that I am worth more to You than the sparrows — and You care for the sparrows! The birds are free to chirp and sing because they're safe and secure in Your arms. Thank You for caring for me and holding me safely in Your arms. I surrender my worries and fears to You. Help me to trust You more and more. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God …” 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NIV)
Lord, I am safe with You. Your shelter and shadow comfort me in my loneliness. I will proclaim You are my refuge and my fortress; therefore, I will not fear (Psalm 91:2). As a refuge, You are my quick place to duck into when fear starts nipping at the edges of my emotions. I close my eyes and trust Your promise to be my safe place. Fear tells me I’ll always be alone, yet Your Truth assures me I’m never alone. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. You are also my fortress — a strong, high place where fear can no longer have access to me. Fear can’t catch what it can no longer reach. What a comfort this is. What a comfort You are. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
