Care that never fails

A garden scale balanced perfectly, one side holding a tangle of thorns and weeds being lifted away, the other side receiving a basket of ripe fruit settling gently down.

God, your care never fails, and you order everything in heaven and on earth. We humbly ask you to take away from us everything that would harm us, and to give us everything that will do us good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
