Hallelujah!  He is risen!

A Lenten Devotional Guide

By Donna Ludwick 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6 NIV

When our oldest son was getting married, his brother was his best man. On the day of the wedding, we drove 20 miles to the church. About a half an hour before the ceremony was to start, the best man realized he had left the pants to his tux back home in his closet. Since there was no time to go back, I whispered a prayer, “Help, Lord! We need some gray pants.”

After making some inquiries, we were told about a men’s store just a couple of blocks from the church. Our son and his dad took off for the store and came back minutes later with gray pants. Except for the stripe down the side, the pants were identical to the others that belonged to the tux. I said a big “thank you” to the Lord.

The wedding was right on schedule.

Thank you, Lord, for caring for the details of our lives. Help us turn to you when we feel anxious. Amen
