OVERCOMING WORRIES & ANXIETY SERIES

DAY 9: TUESDAY JANUARY 9. 2024.

TODAY’S INSPIRATION: MATTHEW 6V25-34.

“²⁵ 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?

²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

²⁷ Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

²⁸ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

²⁹ And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

³⁰ Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁴ Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (KJV)

INSPIRATION NOTE:

Matthew 6:25-34 is a passage from the Bible that emphasizes the importance of placing trust in God rather than worrying about worldly concerns. It encourages followers of Jesus to have faith in God’s provision and reminds them of their inherent value and worth in His eyes

PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, humbled by your greatness and goodness. As we reflect on the words in Matthew 6:25-34, help us to release our anxieties and worries, knowing that you are in control of our lives.

Teach us to seek your Kingdom above all else and trust in your provision. Grant us the wisdom to focus on the present, knowing that you hold our future in your hands.

Strengthen our faith, that we may rely on you completely and find peace in your loving care. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
