Be anxious for nothing

Anxious thoughts. Skirting the edges. Almost incognito. 

Fears. Simmering just below the surface.

Concerns for loved ones and various situations. Rippling through as world crises ramp up. 

Then, His Word. Memorized long ago. Invades with precision. Cutting through the muddle.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6 NASB).

Night watch

Night watch. Our God neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121). 

And sometimes He wakes us in the night. To watch and pray. 

I remember when the two emails arrived. One after the other. To our inbox in Karachi.

Same time. Same message. Traveling across the world. From opposite sides of the United States.
