UPWORDS by Max Lucado The 11/04/2014 edition: In God’s Hands Imagine this breakfast scene. The daughters are complaining their brother took too much time in the bathroom. So their hair isn’t brushed and makeup isn’t applied. Mom is doing her best, but she woke up with a headache and a long list of things to do. Dad stops at the kitchen doorway. He weighs his options: Command everyone to shape up and behave. Berate his son for dominating the bathroom and his wife for not taking control. Sneak out before anyone notices. OR. . .he could pray: “Father, you are good. I need help. Reduce the frenzy in my house, please.” Will the prayer change everything? It may. Or it may take another prayer, or two, or ten! But at least the problem is in the hands of the One who can solve it. The Bible says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you! (1 Peter 5:7).” Before amen—comes the power of a simple prayer! From the book Before Amen by Max Lucado
