"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 important than food, and the body more important 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? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies 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 grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you have 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. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Wow, I don't even know where to start today! "WORRYING" hummm...... this should have been a huge part of my name! I worry about everything as everyone who knows me knows. However, the thing I worry about mostly is money! Why? To be honest, I am not sure why? God has always blessed us when times become a little scary, but yet, I still find myself questioning how are we going to make, how are we going to keep feeding our family, how are we going to pay our bills, how are we going to be able to take care of the girls?!!! Silly isn't it?! Here is a scary realization; we ALL do it! At one time or another in our life, we all worry about something and we shouldn't! God tells us NOT to worry because he will always take care of us, so why can't we listen, trust, and honor him?!
My goal from here on out is to put my faith in my heavenly Father! Trust him to take my worries and provide for me and my family the way he feels is necessary. He has yet to let me down, but I still let him down by worrying everyday! Jesus, taught me about worrying and now it is time for me to use his lesson in my life! JENNIFER LEE FOLEY, STOP WORRYING!!!!!
