7 reasons not to worry

The Cure for Anxiety

 ²⁵"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

 ²⁶⁾Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
 ²⁷"And who of you by being ⁾worried can add a single hour to his life?
 ²⁸"And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
 ²⁹yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
 ³⁰"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?You of little faith!
 ³¹"Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
 ³²"For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
 ³³"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
 ³⁴"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.



SEVEN REASONS NOT TO WORRY
Matthew 6:25-34

1. The same God who created life in us can be trusted with the details. (vs.25)
2. Worrying about the future impedes our efforts for today.
(vs.26)
3. Worrying is more harmful than helpful. (vs.27)
4. God does not ignore those who depend on Him. (vss.28-30)
5. Worrying shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God.
(vss.31-32)
6. Worrying keeps us from real challenges God wants us to tackle. (vs.33)
7. Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry. (vs 34)

More Bible Verses, I need them today

If you have a verse you feel would be important for our prayer journey, please feel free to referance it in comments
These are from the New American Standard Bible
Luke 18
 ¹Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
 ²saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.
 ³"There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'
 ⁴"For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,
 ⁵yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"
 ⁶And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;
 ⁷now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?
 ⁸"I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"
