“Do Not Worry
About Your Life”
“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?
Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why
do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was
not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much
more clothe you – you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What
will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the
Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things. But strive first for the
“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries
of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Matthew 6:25-34
We often wish we could see what lies around the corner in life.
Then we could prepare for it, control it, or avoid it.
Because Jesus has promised to care for us every day – and that
includes tomorrow – we can live by faith one day at a time.
You can decide to leave all the
tomorrows in God’s hands.
Nothing good can come from worrying
about tomorrow.
