Every Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m., I join an AG (Assemblies of God Netherlands) Zoom prayer meeting. Each week, someone opens with a short reflection, and then we pray together.

Verse 7 is a familiar one: Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Stay alert!

A lovely and encouraging text. Amen. Done, we might say, and we stop right there. But, of course, verse 7 is follo...
