Morning Prayer, Friday, June 5, 2026 - WORD(S) OF THE DAY: ROOTED IN FAITH

Father God, please help me to have deeply seated faith where my roots in You are rock solid.  Amen

“[5] "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  (6) In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”  (Proverbs 3:5-6)

“Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away."  That can’t be found in man or man-made things.  Scripture tells us in Philippians 4:6, “Be anxious for nothing . . .,” and yet there are times in this life when we are facing struggles, pain, suffering and financial situations that we just can’t help but to worry.  We are told in Proverbs 3:5 to lean on God, not on our situation, our friends, or our own thoughts.  We do though, lean on everybody but God sometimes.  We have to get to a point where our roots of faith are so deeply seated in God, nothing can uproot it.  Now, it can’t be a surface type root where if a good rainstorm pops up, it gets washed away.  You know how the Scripture talks about the Sower.  Some of the seed fell on shallow grown on top of the ground or among the thorns.  It never fully took root.  When we are not trusting God and worrying about how, what and when, we become like those seeds.  Our faith is only on the surface.
