I used to worry. I think most people do in varying degrees.
Worrying can be painful. Living anxiously is not good for you.
You can’t stop worrying just because people tell you to stop. Even if it’s Jesus.
Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin.
But eventually, what Jesus said will make sense.
Life is unpredictable There will be a time when you have to believe in someone bigger than yourself. And I have personally found that in moments of great anguish, God keeps you from drowning in the pain.
You have to put the past, present, and future somewhere. We are too finite to carry infinite situations.
God wants you to trust him. Rest is the opposite of worry. And that’s what God wants for you.
