Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Luke 12

Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" v22-26

I worry often...about whether I am in the right job or whether I am being a good enough husband or father or even whether I am playing tennis well!  How foolish...and sinful!  

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You provide for ALL my needs, physical and emotional and I know that it is through You that I can find rest, peace and contentment.  Yet I sometimes or often look elsewhere...thank You Jesus that You love me anyway but please forgive me Jesus!  Help me turn from my neglect of You and from my looking elsewhere for my needs.  You know best what I need!  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Help me be the man You intend for me.
