Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the Masters, where we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Today, we are in our favorite new morning mercy.

So we are just gonna dive on in and be encouraged.

This is what it says.

Remember, what is out of your control

exists under the careful control of the one who is all knowing, all wise, all good.

Too much of our emotional energy is zapped by worry.

Too many of us are captured by discouragement. Too many of us are captured by discouragement.

Too many of us are often motivated by fear.

Too many of us regularly lose sleep because of worry.

Too many of us feel our lives are out of control. Too many of

us wish that we had power we will never have. Too many of us are paralyzed by regret. Too many of us are paralyzed by regret.

Too many of us wonder where God is and what he is doing.

Too many of us feel alone and misunderstood.

Too many of us envy the lives of others. Too many of us envy the lives of others.

Too many of us think that it's us against the world.

To many of us, when we are assessing our lives, leave out the ultimate explanatory fact, the existence, character, and plan of God.

I am convinced that many of us need to take in or return to the worldview that is presented to us in the book of Daniel.

Daniel's world is a world of trouble.

It's a world of injustice, oppression, idolatry, danger, political corruption, war, and various other kinds of trouble.

But it is not a world that is out of control.

In fact, in the face of all the trouble, Daniel presents to us the very opposite of what we would tend to think if we were to assess his world.
