Do not worry

It seems like this year has started out being a challenge for many around me. And as the economy is in chaos, many are facing many obstacles. Many of my friends are facing different battles. As I was emailing one of those friends, I was drawn to 2 books of the Bible. Matthew and Psalms. God tells us in His Word that we are not to worry about what tomorrow brings. He will take care of us. I couldn't say it any better than these verses. Please read these. Pay attention to what He is telling us. I believe we ALL could get something out of these verses.

Psalms 46:1-3 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling."

Matthew 6:25-29, 33-34 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." 33-34: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Where He says "So why do you worry about clothing?", I like to insert whatever I may be worrying about. Do the same for yourself.
