‘Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?’
(Matthew 6:27)
Have you ever thought about the complex process of getting food to your table,
especially if you live in a city? Think of how many steps there are and how many people are involved.
We ought to be thankful. But even more so we need to be thankful to God our Father.
Jesus tells us to pray for our daily bread, and then trust him, not being anxious. It is a way of
reminding us of the great truth that God is in charge of all things, and that he cares for us.
It also reminds us to share our blessings with others,
for we may be God’s instruments in providing for their needs.
Question for thought: Is my life dominated by anxiety or trust in the Lord?
Heavenly Father we pray for members in Cashel and Ossory in All Ireland as they seek to
support Ukrainian families and care for patients suffering from dementia in a local nursing home.
May they reflect the love of Jesus and be able to bring the Word of God to comfort those in need.
