DO NOT WORRY


Luke 12:22-23

Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.”

Encouraging Words

Sometimes life can press in on us and we begin to feel alone. Sometimes things happen in life where we begin to get worried that we will not make it and be able to meet the needs of our loved ones or ourselves. These times are real and the feelings are deep. Jesus reminds us that we are His children and that He will take care of us. That care may not always be in the format that we expect or desire but it is still there. He knows our true needs, including what we need to learn in the midst of our trial, and He will fulfill those needs. Our prayer should be that our eyes be open to His handiwork. Our prayer should also be that He will use us at He sees fit in the lives of those around us who have needs that are lacking so that we can be part of their journey through their trials in a positive, Christ-illumining way. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
