"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:25-34)
Why do you worry?
It´s so difficult...
Jesus teaches you not to worry, but you worry...
Jesus said don´t worry because He knows what you need.
When parents say to their children to not do something, to not go to a certain place, to not talk to strangers, children tend to question? Why not?
Remember that God calls you His child!
And if He says to you to not worry, He knows why you should not worry.
Jesus Himself is saying look at the birds! Observe them! And He is saying that you are more valuable.
Have this confidence!
You have a heavenly Father!
The One who feeds the birds calls you much more valuable!
He knows what you need.
He knows and this should be enough.
He has an appropriate time to give you what you need.
If God promised, He will suply your needs, He will.
Sometimes you ask for things that you don´t need for real.
And this brings sadness, despair...
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
(Phillippians 4: 7)
Believe and bring to your mind that you don´t need to worry!
Pray!
When you pray you cast your anxieties on Him!
Present to God your needs!
He knows everything but He wants to listen to you and guard your heart with His peace!
"In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves." (Psalm 127 :2)
"Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."
(Isaiah 64:4)
Remember this!
