Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
September 25

Every decision we make is not critical nor is every mistake fatal. Lord, help me keep things in perspective and avoid the panic such thinking creates.

Scripture for the Day
"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

Meditation for the Day
"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."  For rest from the cares of life, we can turn to God each day in prayer and communion.  Real relaxation and serenity come from a deep sense of the fundamental goodness of the universe.  God's everlasting arms are underneath all and can support us.  We can commune with God, not so much for petitions to be granted as for the rest that comes from our relying on God's will and God's purposes for our lives. We can be sure of God's strength available to us, and conscious of God's support.  We can wait quietly until that true rest from God fills our being.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be conscious of God's support today.  I pray that I may rest safe and sure therein.
