Small Things.

Bible Reading: John 21: 4 - 12

My friend Andrew told me that he prays only when he has problems that he cannot solve on his own. In contrast, I often call on the Lord for help with small things: ‘Lord, help me find a place to park my car’ or ‘What souvenirs shall I buy for this friend, Lord?’ or ‘Lord, where have I placed my car keys?’ After seeing me praying often about trivial things in daily life, Andrew bluntly said, ‘I don’t want to bother God with small things.’ 

Today’s reading tells us that Jesus cared when the disciples caught nothing after a whole night at sea. Today’s quoted verse reminds us that God also cares about the minor details of our lives. After all, he knows how many hairs are on our heads! God listens to my friend’s prayers about big problems and also to my prayers about the little things that bother me in daily life. Nothing is too insignificant for God, who cares about the big and small things that happen to us. We can go to him with anything because he loves us.

Prayer: Dear God, you care about what happens in our lives. Help us to come to you with all the concerns in our lives. Amen
