God Is in Control

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord and there is none else. –Isaiah 45:6 KJV

We all have things in our life that we question. Maybe there’s something tugging on the back of your mind right now begging for your attention. Maybe it’s a loved one who is struggling or maybe you’re trying to figure out how to pay for groceries, your new mortgage, and a car loan. Whatever is on your mind might feel like a heavyweight strapped to your back, but know that it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s no easy fix that will make everything fall into place, but there is God—and He loves you and wants to shoulder your burden.God says that His burden is light. Rest in the fact that He will help carry the load. Not that He’ll take the responsibility and let you sit on your hands; but as you press on, He will carry the stress, the weight, and the burden. In place of that weight, He will give you peace and joy. The One who created it all, the One in control, and the One who sees every detail of your situation is faithful and worthy of trust.

Bayside Community Church

At the beginning of each year, as a church, we set aside time for prayer and fasting. We believe God deserves our full attention and our best. So, before we fill our calendars for the year, we want to listen.  We say with Samuel, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening”. (1 Sam 3:9)

These daily readings are collection of thoughts and scripture to use as prompts to invite you to dig deeper - to listen and lean in. Use the scriptures as a springboard to explore further. Consider praying through the scriptures given and let the Word of God speak.

We are praying that you will hear from God in personal and powerful ways over the next 14 days and beyond!
