Devotion 6/6, Our Eyes on Jesus
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
The words of an old hymn come to mind: “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit; oh, what needless pain we bear—all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.”
The good news for an increasingly anxious world is that the Spirit wants to produce peace in our minds, hearts, and lives, and often that can happen when we open ourselves to the Lord in prayer.
Lord God, we live in anxious times in an anxious world. As we cast our cares upon Jesus, grant us peace. We pray in the name of the Prince of Peace, our Lord Jesus. Amen.
Let’s each refresh our spiritual personality with a conversation, a prayer, to turn our eyes to Him. A peace will overcome all the anxiety and stress that bogs us down.
