God's Capable Care

Today’s Reflection

Hope and confidence nudge us to ask an urgent question: “How much do we really trust God?” . . . If we choose, today, we can put our dreams, relationships, jobs, prayers, and our very lives, underneath God’s more than capable care.

—Gabby Cudjoe-Wilkes and Andrew Wilkes, Psalms for Black Lives: Reflections for the Work of Liberation (Upper Room Books, 2022)

Today’s Question

How can we build our trust in God to intervene, both directly and through human action, to repair policy legacies of racial inequality and cultural patterns of anti-blackness?

Today’s Scripture

I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

—Psalm 30:5–6 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

O God, hear our laments, our praises, and our questions. They come from our hearts, and we know that you tenderly care for each of them. Amen.
