Episode notes

We have a God who is attentive to even the seemingly minor issues of our lives.

And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.

Matthew 6:30-32 NLT

When we’re worried, weary, or hurting, we need to know that God has our back; he loves and cares for us.

Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

Psalm 55:22 NLT

God’s care for us is personal. Not only does he care for the world as a whole, but he loves each of us at an individual and intimate level, like a mother who cares for her children.

So the LORD answers, “Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you.”

Isaiah 49:15 GNT
