Anxiety

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord  watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (Ps 127:1,2)

Oh how foolish we are! We proclaim God’s sovereignty, his love, his great wisdom and yet at the first sign of trouble we become anxious. Our faith is weak Lord, make us strong. May we show the world around us that we have a greater hope. Not in weak political systems, rulers, powerful armies or economic systems. Make our faith strong, set our sights and our hearts on your glory alone and may we be willing to sacrifice all for it!
