Don\u2019t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God\u2019s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.  <\/em>Philippians 4:6-7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life\u2014whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn\u2019t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?   <\/em>Matthew 6:25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worrying Doesn\u2019t Change Anything<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1<\/strong>. Look to the Father<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look at the birds. They don\u2019t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren\u2019t you far more valuable to him than they are?   <\/em>Matthew 6:26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stand on our Faith<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.   <\/em>Matthew 6:33<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For God has not given us a spirit of fear<\/u>, but of power<\/u> and of love<\/u> and of a sound mind<\/u>.   <\/em>2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Be Confident in our Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So don\u2019t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today\u2019s trouble is enough for today. <\/em>Matthew 6:34<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worrying don\u2019t protect us from problems tomorrow; worrying robs us of our peace today.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Starting today, I will do what I can do, and I will surrender to God what only He can do.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The <\/em>Lord<\/em> is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.   <\/em>Psalm 145:18<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
