God’s Care

Anxiety can make us feel abandoned, as if no one is looking out for us. But Scripture gives us a different picture. God is not distant or indifferent. He is a shepherd who tends, gathers, carries, and leads His people with care.

Notice the details. He gathers the lambs in His arms. He carries them close to His heart. He gently leads those who are weary. This is not the image of a harsh ruler but of a tender Father who knows exactly what His children need.

Anxiety says, “You are on your own.” God’s care says, “I am carrying you.” He does not just provide from a distance. He draws close, holds us near, and leads us forward with gentleness.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for carrying me close to Your heart. When I feel anxious and overwhelmed, remind me that I am safe in Your arms. Teach me to rest in the gentleness of Your care.

Daily Challenge:
Write down one anxious thought today and then, underneath it, write: “God gathers, carries, and leads me.” Use it as a reminder that you are never left on your own.
