“And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?”
— Luke 12:28 (NLT)
Let’s be honest—sometimes we believe God cares for us in theory, but when life gets hard, that belief can start to feel distant.
Bills pile up. Prayers seem unanswered. Health concerns sneak in. Ministry feels heavy. And suddenly, even the strongest faith gets shaken by the question, “God… do You see me?”
But Jesus, in His simple, poetic way, reminds us of something profound: If God cares about wildflowers, He certainly cares about you.
1. You Matter More Than You Think
Flowers don’t last. They bloom in hidden places and disappear within days. Yet God clothes them with beauty.
Now think about this: If God invests that kind of care into something so temporary, how much more will He pour out love, provision, and help for you—His child, made in His image, called with purpose?
2. Worry Isn’t the Way Forward
Jesus goes on to say in Luke 12 that worry doesn’t add a single moment to our lives. But we still fall into it, don’t we?
Worry often signals we’ve taken our eyes off who God is and started fixating on what we can’t control.
The invitation from Jesus is not to ignore life’s challenges, but to face them with faith, not fear—to believe God sees, knows, and is already working on our behalf.
3. Faith Isn’t Always Loud—Sometimes It’s Just Steady
Faith doesn’t mean you never doubt or ask questions. It means that, deep down, you keep showing up, keep praying, keep trusting—even when your emotions aren’t all caught up.
Faith whispers, “I don’t know how God will come through, but I believe He will.”
4. Practical Ways to Rest in God’s Care
Here are a few ways I’ve found helpful in building trust when I feel unsure:
- Start each day with truth. Let Scripture set your focus. Try reading Luke 12 this week and let it sink in.
- Write down answered prayers. A journal of God’s faithfulness becomes fuel for future faith.
- Pray honestly. Tell God what you’re worried about—and then leave it with Him.
- Talk with faith-filled friends. Sometimes you need someone else to remind you: “God’s got you.”
- Worship your way through it. There’s power in declaring God’s goodness, even when life is messy.
5. One Final Thought
You might be in a season where things feel uncertain. You’re doing your best, but you’re not sure how it all turns out. That’s okay. Because God’s got you—even when you’re not sure.
If He watches over wildflowers that no one even sees, He’s absolutely watching over you.
So take a deep breath. Walk forward in faith. And trust the One who never forgets, never fails, and never stops caring for His own.
