Heavy Things

Stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life...who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure to his stature or span of his life?  (Matthew 6:25, 27)
 
 
Many people I know worry about any and everything, myself included.  Most are trivial such as worrying about what to eat and what to wear, while some are based on what someone will do when faced with a certain situation before that situation even occurs. 
 
 
Most of us are blessed with nice homes, plenty of food, transportation, clothes, and endless other items that we don't necessarily need, so why do we have a problem with worrying?  The enemy enjoys creating doubt in our minds, especially when we face difficulties.  God wants us to know that worrying doesn't add a single minute to our lives; in fact chronic worrying shortens our lives.
 
 
Our loving Father knows our needs before we even go to Him in prayer, so it's in our best interest to stop worrying and focus on the One who is able to meet our needs and is good to us at all times!
