“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?” – Matthew 6:25

A.W. Pink was an English Bible teacher and author. On the subject of worry, Pink wrote: “The best antidote for anxiety is frequent meditation upon God's goodness, power, and sufficiency. When the saint can confidently realize "The Lord is my Shepherd," he must draw the conclusion, "I shall not want!" Immediately following our exhortation is, "but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Nothing is too big and nothing is too little—to spread before and cast upon the Lord. The "with thanksgiving" is most important, yet it is the point at which we most fail. It means that before we receive God's answer, we thank Him for the same—it is the confidence of the child expecting his Father to be gracious.”

Everything is under God’s rule. Today in prayer, put all your worry in Jesus' hands and trust in Him.  

“Stop thinking about your difficulties, whatever they are, and start thinking about God instead.” – Emmett Fox

God’s Word: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” – Matthew 6:34
