Like last week, this week’s passage speaks directly to American society.
Jesus addresses worry. And it’s something we meed to hear. We tend to worry about almost everything, it seems. But Jesus has a better idea.
Read it for yourself: Matthew 6:25-27.
I don’t know about you, but I find overcoming worry to be a difficult struggle.
I worry about my kids. I worry about our finances. I worry about my wife when she’s traveling. I worry about upcoming events and programming in my ministry.
I know I shouldn’t; but I do.
How do you not worry?
And so this passage speaks directly to my life. What about you?
Do you worry? What about? How do you not worry? Let me know in the comments.
Yes, I worry. I’ve spent the past year worrying about my wife’s health. Last year at this time, she was hospitalized. It definitely threw our whole family for a loop. Things are getting better, but I think I will always worry about some type of relapse.
Staying in God’s word, exercising regularly, eating well, and keeping solid friendships has been keep to keeping the worry in check. (Also, there was some counseling earlier this year.)
Thanks for the reminder!
I think all your steps to keeping worry in check are spot on. I know that they all have halped me, and continue to do so. I’ll be praying for you and your wife. Stay strong!
