Read Psalm 115:9-15
A number of people believe that cows can predict the weather. These cow watchers claim that the higher the percentage of cows lying down in a field, the greater the chance of rain.
Predictions. Forecasts. Promises. People try to predict many things: weather, sports scores, the economy. On and on people make predictions.
You can get in trouble if you trust predictions too much. You've probably heard forecasters promise a sunny day, only to be drenched around noon. Or perhaps you've heard about people who have lost lots of money when they invested in a company that was predicted to grow. And you've probably witnessed preseason predictions of athletic teams that have turned out very wrong.
Only one kind of prediction is completely trustworthy: God's predictions. You can be sure that whatever God predicts will come true. Although the predictions of people are often wrong, not one of God's predictions has ever failed to come true.
Think About It
The author of Psalm 115 revealed one of God's predictions that we can count on. The prediction is this: Those who put their trust in God will be rewarded. He promises to help and protect those who follow him. The psalm goes on to say, "The Lord, who is always thinking about us, will bless us" (Psalm 115:12). God knows our needs even before we ask him to meet them! For what do you need help and protection today? Tell God you trust him to look out for you.
Pray About It
Lord, I praise you for helping me and protecting me. I know you are completely trustworthy and are fully capable of taking care of my needs.

How many things can I worry about? That is not a saying I use, how about you? But I might worry anyway. I can worry about finances, I can about my kids, I can worry about my job, I can worry about…. What good does that do? What does that teach me?
Worry is a natural emotion to not trusting God. What are you worrying about today? Why not stop and take time to talk to God about it? Prayer is the opposite of worry. Worry is talking to myself about a problem, prayer is talking to God about it. Why not take a few minutes to break out your Bible and read Psalm 119:9-15?
Then trust God with the, and here is the secret to peace, outcome.
Trusting God,
PS
