Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Text: Matthew 6:25

Please read the whole of Matthew 6, bring your questions and comment.

Actually, Worry is a matter of control. It’s trying to control the uncontrollable. It says "whatever you can’t control, worry about it". The future is uncertain, so worry about the future? But worry never solves anything!

Jesus gave four reasons why you don’t need to worry in his sermon.

4 Reasons why we don't need to worry

1. It is unreasonable to worry: (Matthew 6:25) read please. Jesus is saying that if it’s not going to last, don’t worry about it. To worry about something you can change is foolish. To worry about something you can’t change is useless. Either way, it’s unreasonable to worry.
2. It is unnatural to worry: Jesus gives us an illustration from nature in Matthew 6:26. We’re the only things God has created that don’t trust him, and God says this is unnatural.
3. It is unhelpful to worry: It doesn’t change anything. Matthew 6:27 says, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” When you worry about a problem, it doesn’t bring you one inch closer to a solution. Worry doesn’t change anything except you. It makes you miserable.
4. It is unnecessary to worry:.Matthew 6:30 (read). If you trust in God, you don’t need to worry. Why? Because he has promised to take care of all your needs.
