“Listen to me, I carried you before you were born. I will be your God THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME—(and for all eternity), until your hair is white with age. I MADE YOU, AND I WILL CARE FOR YOU. I will carry you along and save you.” (Isa. 46:3-4) The Lord reminds us that He created us and is always watching over us! “That is why I tell you NOT TO WORRY…whether you have enough food, drink, or clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and clothing…if GOD CARES so wonderfully for wildflowers…GOD WILL CERTAINLY CARE FOR YOU.” (Matt. 6:25-30) 40% of our time is spent worrying about things that never happen. So, that is equivalent to roughly 2.6 years of an average person’s life. According to The Economic Burden of Anxiety Disorders, we spend more than $42 billion a year to combat worry. “Do not be anxious about anything…the PEACE OF GOD WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING shall KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS through Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6-7) Oh, if we could learn to trust in the Lord knowing that God will take care of us!
