Worry-free Faith

     Is it possible to remove worry and anxiety from our lives? If we believe God’s Word, it is possible. He will take care of us through everything. Worry and anxiety have plagued me off and on for years. If you are a constant worry-wart or are filled with anxiety, pray for these powerful Words to give you the strength to truly believe them. It’s working for me and I pray God’s Word will overcome your worry, too.

  “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 anyone 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.” Matthew 6:25-33

     What does Jesus tell us? Worry will not add a single hour to our lives. Worry takes away the joy of today. God knows we need food and clothing and He wants us to have them, of course. All He asks is that we seek Him first. Put Him first.

     It is a journey of faith, isn’t it? Let’s work on getting to know Him more and more, seeking His Word above all of the other voices around us, spending time in quiet prayer and in His Word. And all of these things will be added unto us.

Dear Father,

There is so much going on around us daily. Help us to place our priorities in Your hands, seeking You first. We need Your help as we give our worries to You. You can handle them all. Give us peace.

In Jesus name,

Amen
