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 than food, and the body more 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 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
I love how straight forward Jesus is. His message is simple and to the point. No need to overthink things or know a ton about theology. Jesus says to put your trust in Him and not worry about the things that are out of your control. Give it to Him. God is your Father, and he knows who you are, what you need, what you are going through and your future. You are his child. Worrying does not make things better. It actually robs us of our time, tears, and gives us pointless anxiety and stress. When we worry, we are believing that the enemy has control over our lives. Reality is God is in control and He is Almighty God. Let go of the situantions where you no control over. Trust God and seek his will for your life.
We should not however, live life carelessly, doing whatever we please. In situations where we do have some control, we should ask God for wisdom to make the right decisions.
Learning to live, and going through college, I struggle with this tremendously at times. However I trust and know Jesus is my Lord and Savoir. I have nothing to worry about because He has paid my penalty at the cross.
