Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? — Luke 12:6

What is our tiny planet doing in a universe so big? What are simple people on a planet with so many different kinds of life? What’s the point of me? There are billions of people alive and billions who have lived before us. Jesus tells us that we are very important, not because we are so important, but because God knows us as individuals. We don’t have to be afraid because the One who is, was, and will be knows and loves us!

Prayer

You already know my heart, Eternal God, Almighty Father, Tender Shepherd. You are aware of my areas of struggle with sin; kindly encourage and pardon me. You are aware of my anxieties; kindly support and bolster me. You are aware of my youth; help me grow up. You are aware of my disease and frailty; kindly console and heal me. That you know me and love me, holy God, fills me with awe and comfort. I’m grateful. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
