Do Not Worry

This was my Facebook which was posted on September 18. 2014:

My devotional today was talking about worry. It's so natural as human beings to worry about what will happen, worry about our future, we tend to have securities in things such as money, education, medication, etc. I for one struggle with worry of finances. After Abby's passing, I was scared what that was with our financial situation. The day after Abby's passing, I cried out to God "Father, Derek and I are not strong enough financially to give our daughter a proper funeral." He listened and answered!! To all the amazing people who donated towards her beautiful service and burial, God brought them to our aid! We had just enough donations to cover the necessary costs of Abby's funeral and for all her hospital bills! This verse is so touching to my heart and this experience was so real to me! God only provides what you need and at the right time of need! 

Matthew 6:25-34


Do Not Worry
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.

"When you worry, you're saying "I don't trust You, God." So pray instead of worrying." - Thelma Wells
