I think we need to be
reminded more often of what the bible tells us about the things we worry about.
I am offering the verses from Mathew 6:25-34:
"So my counsel is:
Don’t worry about things—food,
drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body—and they are far more
important than what to eat and wear. Look at the birds! They don’t worry about
what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly
Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Will
all your worries add a single moment to your life?
“And why worry about
your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. Yet King
Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. And
if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow,
won’t he more surely care for you, O men of little faith?
“So don’t worry at all
about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take
pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your
heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and
he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as
he wants you to.
“So don’t be anxious
about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a
time.
