Few of us try to make our lives more difficult than they need to be. Yet when difficulties mount, and we are distracted and worried, and we may become anxious. Our stressful reactions only contribute to the problems in front of us. This is just one of the reasons Jesus so emphatically tells us not to worry about our lives. Even more importantly, Jesus knows that our lives are part of the story God is writing. As challenges come your way, let them be reminders to more intentionally seek the Lord, and to follow Him into the future.
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?—Luke 12:25-26
Prayer: Lord, You call us to lives of wholehearted trust in You. Remind us of who You are. Help us to see You at work around us as we trust in You, and as we pray in Your name, amen.
