Do not worry

Verse for the Day
25"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

Worrying is something that I used to be very good at doing. I would stress and worry about something so much it consumed me. I think because I had trouble releasing control over to God. Then asking that He would grant me peace about whichever direction He was taking me. I would get so upset of something did not work out. Now, thankfully, through Christ I have gained victory over this area. I still struggle at times with worrying, but I know that God's Word has spoken. God knows what I need. He also knows what I want, and sometimes my want is greater than the need. But, He provides exactly what we need. His promises are never broken, and He always takes care of us. He forces us to refocus our thoughts, and consider why we are worrying. He takes care of the things that are important ( which is not clothing). When I think about it, I've never been without food nor had clothing to wear. Even if I did not have these things, I know I have the Lord. Man does not live on bread alone, but on the bread of life which is Christ. He is all we need. And as the song says...don't worry be happy!
