 Why wish upon a star when we can pray to the One who created it? The Bible says that in the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth (Genesis 1:1) and that He knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). I believe this means that not only does God know everything about us, He knew how human history would end before it began! He made everything, including us, and He has our best interest at heart. God knew no matter how hard we tried, we would never be perfect and sinless. That is why He sent His Son (Jesus Christ) to save us. The Bible says in John 3:16-17 (NIV), “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

God is the Creator of all those billions of brilliant stars we see shining bright against the backdrop of the midnight blue sky. The Bible says He knows each one by name (Isaiah 40:26) just like He knows each of us by name. So why would we whimsically pray to the creation when we can talk directly to the Creator? 

The Bible says that God loves to give His children good gifts (Matthew 7:11). So if your heart desires new apparel or if you need a new car or sufficient income to pay your bills…whatever you want and need, bring it to God and ask for it in Jesus’s Name. While we wait on God’s provision, we need to trust His timing. We can trust that God always hears and answers our every prayer, even when we feel He is silent and not responding. He may not provide for us in the exact way we want, but He will always give us everything we need in His perfect time.

  Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Thy wounds hide me. Separated from Thee let me never be. From the malignant enemy, defend me. At the hour of death, call me. And close to Thee bid me. That with Thy saints I may be Praising Thee, forever and ever. Amen.

O  merciful God, on this day I give special thanks to you for the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. By His resurrection from the dead, you gave us a sign of your promise to rescue us from death, your power to do it, and your intention to accomplish it. I remember today that you took upon yourself to suffer the terrible pain and fear all people face, voluntarily, for no reason except your love for us; and I thank you with every ounce of my being for your extraordinary love and mercy. All glory be to You, wonderful God.
