Thank God I’m not the leader

If you’ve been following along, you’ll know my process. Each morning, I begin with praise, then I move to thanksgiving.

(If you haven’t, you can download this guide where I walk through how to get started on a morning prayer time.)

I do this because it gets my mind in the right place to take in God’s Word.

One of things I’m regularly thankful for is God’s leadership. Like a loving father, planning, caring, and watching.

This morning I had a new thought: I’m so glad that’s not me.

I’m so glad I’m not essentially praying to myself, relying on myself.

That would be stressful.

To that end, Peter writes, “cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6).

God is a good father. And life is good being his child.
