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)
