My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
'My wife and I have been married for four years. We have an end-of-the-day pray and we often pray Psalm 127 which says, ‘It is useless to work so hard for a living, getting up early and going to bed late, for the Lord provides for those he loves, while they are asleep’.
I’m not one of life’s worriers, but it’s a reminder to me not to blitz through life not being anxious. It’s a reminder that there are limits. It helps us because we have different tendencies. My wife can be more anxious about things. Doing this helps her sleep.
It’s a daily reminder that God is in control and that we can let things go at the end of the day. I’d just go to sleep, but my wife has encouraged me to do this as a daily reminder. I could easily think that I had got the next day covered, but I guess that the idea that God covers us as we sleep and keeps things ticking over is a massive encouragement.
That’s very humbling. It says to me, "Stop trying to do it all yourself. Stop faffing. Trust that God has got it covered. That’s his job.'
