Day 51

Listen to Today’s Reading:

What do you need? There are things we need—like food, water, and clothing—and there are things we want. Have you ever thought about who makes sure you have what you need? You probably think of your parents, grandparents, or maybe a teacher or coach. Now zoom out… and think about who provides everything you need. Who put these people in your life and ensured you had the people around you who could take care of you?

Today’s Passage: Matthew 6:26

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Reflect: You might be struggling today and worried that you don’t have everything you need. Or maybe you have the basics, but some of your wants are feeling ignored. Remember that you are more valuable to God than the birds. He takes care of them, and he will take care of you. He knows you, hears your requests, and knows what you need.

Pray: Talk to God today about what you need. Ask him to help you, and then trust him to provide.
