Ruin will not have the last word for them

Trying to secure yourself by earning more approval

Ignoring every danger because security means nothing can hurt you

Depending on your own grip more than on his keeping power

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and cannot save myself. I turn from my sin and trust that you died for me and rose again. Thank you for giving life that never ends and for holding me in your hand. Be my Lord and Savior, and keep me from being lost. Amen.

Receive the Life-Giving Shepherd

Lord, wake up your Church to the security you have spoken over your people. Where we are anxious, make us steady; where we are timid, make us bold; where we have forgotten your keeping power, restore our trust. Let our lives show the peace of people held in your hand, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church with Confidence

Thank God for giving life that lasts forever, for the promise that his people will not be ruined, and for the comfort of being held securely by his hand.

Thanks for Your Keeping Power

Begin by naming one fear or pressure that makes you want to clutch control. Ask Jesus to remind you that his hand is stronger, and ask for one calm step of trust you can take today.

Praying When Fear Tries to Grasp You

Pray for someone who feels fragile, unsafe, or one step away from ruin: that they would hear Jesus' promise, rest in his protection, and find courage in his keeping hand.

For the Anxious and Afraid

Father, grow in me a steady trust that does not panic when life feels uncertain. Teach me to live as one who has received lasting life, and help me resist fear, grasping, and despair, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Teach Me to Rest in Your Hand
