Stop worrying

Uselessness of worrying

  • Matthew 6:25-27
    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?
    26  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
    27  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?


One day at a time

  • Matthew 6:34
    34  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


Don't be anxious

  • Philippians 4:6-7
    6  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
    7  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


Strength against man

  • Hebrews 13:6
    6  So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
