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, All-Powerful Father, Gentle Shepherd. You know where I struggle with sin. Please help me and forgive me. You know what I’m afraid of, so please give me hope and strength. You know how immature I am, so please help me grow up. You know I’m weak and sick, so please comfort me and make me better. Holy God, the fact that you know me and love me both scares and calms me. Thank you! In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
