Worry
For the first time tonight I realized that my worry effects those around me. When did I become so susceptible to worry and anxiety? When did I stop trusting God with my life? I have always said that I trusted God, but when did it slip out the back door? I have no safety nets right now in my life, and that is terrifying, but it wouldn't be if I was trusting him. Thank heavens He loves us and is always there for us. He will never let us go. Now I need to start living this, and God knows how hard this is for me and maybe others who are reading this. If He said He would take care of a sparrow, why is it so hard for me to believe He will take care of me? How do you feel?

Matthew 6
25 “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?
26 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?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
