Cast your Worries on the one who is able

Worrying can't accomplish anything. So why do it?


 "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? "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?  "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. "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? "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things."But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."  (Matthew 6:25-34)




Our Heavenly Father is so concern without worrying to much about things that we can not change that it is actually mentioned  over  11 in the bible.  

Why is so important that our Father warns us off worrying?  What can we change by worrying?  Example in my own life for a  while there I worried that my wife would never finish the nursing program, because of my career and the moves the demands of work and raising children and  church  endeavoring to go to school and my own health issues.  With all my worrying not changing, till I gave it to the Father. She has completed the program and is working and now I see it was all for nothing.  As men we worry about everything what shall I do when I retire?  Can we afford to send our daughter to the college she desire  etc .... If you believe that you serve a living God and our Father is own the throne then should we not cast our cares and fear before the Father and say Daddy, I'm trepidated please grant me the strength to hold onto you and trust you even when I can see no hope, my brothers and sisters the Lord God did not bring us this far to leave us. There is no issue that you could ever encounter that is to great for the Lord our God to get you through . Its time we stop talking the Christian talk and start walking the Christian walk.  Our test are just testimony in the making, another chance for us to give glory to the Father, Rejoice for your storm are not to great, remember what Christ did when he was awoken because his followers were fearful of the storm he calmed it with just his voice, let him calm your storms. If you worried about finding a job, if your worried about keeping your home, worried about your spouse, or getting a divorce or your children. Give to him and trust him to work it all out. He might not come when you want him to, but he is always on time. For my Father is an on time God.
