Don't Worry

Worry….what is worry? In our fast paced world filled with commitments and schedules to keep up with, it is no wonder our lives are filled with worry. It is no wonder that we have stomach aches, headaches, and that our overall health is affected. Jesus teaches us that there are no benefits to worrying. Rather, He asks that we rely on his reign and righteousness. Jesus teaches that what we need comes from God; therefore there is no need for us to worry about having food, being clothed, etc. I challenge each of us to think of times when we should trust God rather than worry. Jesus wants us to worry about NOTHING!!

Bible Text: Matthew 6:25-34

Key Verse: Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matthew 6:25
