This past weekend my pastor talked about how Jesus commanded us not to worry.
Matt 6: 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Therefore if we worry it is sin. Wow, I need to work on this. I seem to worry about many different things. Mostly I think I worry about my children. It is such a waste of my time because I have no control of what truly is going to happen. The Lord has the grand plan and my sitting down here worrying if my kids are going to use drugs someday is silly. Even so, even knowing that, it is hard not to worry. I think that it is going to take a bit of time and practice to get better at this for me.
Matt 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Good question! I need to just do like the saying says, Let Go and Let God. I will just do everything I can each and every day to live Christ like. I can teach my children to do the same and show them in my daily living. But not worry about my kids, what a hard thing not to do. I think about all the dangers out there in this world and how the dangers keep getting greater every year. How can I not worry about letting these kids go out into that world? I need to trust God with things I cannot control. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow. I know that the Lord will help me prepare these children to make good decisions. They will someday be on there own and when that day comes I want to not WORRY and to just let them go.
