Luke 12:22-34
Do Not Worry
22Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Being human it means sometimes we will worry...Worrying makes us feel anxious, unrelaxed, and uneasy...Worry that is very frequent and too intense, can change our daily lives, where we can become unhappy and depressed and have little enjoyment in our lives...Worrying takes away from life and does not add a single hour more to one's life...Understanding your worries helps you...By understanding your personal worries they can become, well, less worrisome...And by worrying too much you can become tired and fatigued...
You can also look for other solutions to the causes of your worrying...Distinguish between solvable and unsolvable worries, ones you can work on and others you have no control over...Keeping your thoughts on positive things can help give your mind free from worry...Listening to music helps one's negative worries...Interrupt your negative worry thoughts with Godly thoughts...Remember there is One who give us a peace that He leaves with us; His peace He freely gives us...He gives a peace not of this world...So do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid...God guides us along the right paths for His name’s sake as we walk along the Lighted Path...The Most Positive Entity in the universe is God...Consider reading God's Word and focusing on God when you start to worry...
Jesus gives us this advice on worrying...Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them...And how much more valuable you are than birds!...Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?...Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?...“Consider how the wild flowers grow...They do not labor or spin...Yet I tell you, 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, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!...And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it...For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them...But seek His Kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well...“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom...Sell your possessions and give to the poor...Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys...For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also...
