We can’t help worrying, but Jesus said a few things which might help us cope with them:
Don’t worry about what you are going to eat
Or what sort of clothes you are going to wear;
What you are is more important than what you eat,
What you are is more important than what you wear.
Look at the wild birds:
They don’t go out farming;
They have no store-house or barn;
God feeds them.
How much more than wild birds you mean to God.
Look at the wild flowers:
They don’t work like mothers at home.
Yet, believe me, King Solomon
wasn’t dressed as gloriously as a wild flower.
God dresses the wild grass –
Blowing in the field today,
A bonfire on the farm tomorrow.
How much more will God look after you!
Matthew 6: 25-30 (Alan Dale: New World)
