Worry Is not Part of God's Plan For You

In the Bible, God dedicated a whole chapter to the subject on worry. How should a Christian respond when met with the tribulations of this meaningless and hasty life? Should a Christian burden himself with worry? No, that is certainly not God's will for you.

Matthew 6:25-34 says,

"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 the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O 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. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

What is the remedy then, to a life of rest and confidence? Trust in the Lord. Believe in the Lord. He is neither a poor God, stingy God, nor heartless God. When He sees you in trouble, His heart is moved with compassion and wants to help you. All you have to do is to invite him to your troubles, seek His divine help. Help from God transcends help from man.

My prayer for all of you is to be able to put your faith in God, and He will carry you through life effortlessly and successfully.
