"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 NIV

It is Possible Not to Worry

IF

Jesus tells me that I should not worry:

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:34 NIV)

And everything is possible with God:

With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26b NIV)

THEN

It must be possible not to worry.

But the message is contrary to what I hear both outside the church and, unfortunately, sometimes inside the church. 

It is acceptable to worry. 
It is a given that I will worry about the future.
It is my duty as a parent to worry.

It is the opposite of trusting God. It keeps me from experiencing peace.


God, help me to trust you in all things. Show me the areas that I have not given over to you yet, the places I would rather control in my own time. Help me hold on to the truth that it is possible not to worry. Amen.
