Look Up!Näide

A mother gave birth to a baby boy. Unfortunately, the boy got sick after just a few days, and they ended up in the hospital. The mother looked after him without sleeping for two days and nights.

Can you imagine how tired she was after looking after her sick child without a break?

When the mother needed rest, the father came and took over to make sure the child wasn’t left alone.

He who watches over us never closes his eyes and never sleeps. We can sleep knowing that he is awake and watching over us.

God is always watching over us, even when we aren’t aware. He never takes a break from caring for us. Think about how it feels to know that you can ‘look up’ to a God who is always awake, ready to listen and act.

Today, we can confirm that he who guards us never sleeps.

Let us pray:

Dear God, how wonderful it is to know that I am well protected by you and that you never sleep. Amen.

Write down one situation where you felt alone and remind yourself that God was with you even then.
