Verses for Being Present

God dresses the wildflowers. I can let go of worrying.

A Bible affirmation for being present, rooted in Matthew 6:28-29.

And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

Matthew 6:28-29 · BSB

Reflection

Wildflowers last a few days, and still God dresses them better than Solomon in all his glory. If He pays that much attention to a field, He pays attention to you.

A prayer

Lord, slow me down to notice the flowers today, and the care they point to.
