CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

We have an Assurance

“Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? — Matthew 6:25

Several times in these verses Jesus says, “Do not worry,” or “Do not be anxious.” Yet simply telling an anxious person to stop being anxious rarely helps. Does anyone anxious choose to be that way? Why, then, would Jesus say this? He reminds us that there are things beyond our control that require us to trust in God’s care and provision.

Humanly speaking we don’t like being dependent on others. Our insecurity drives our desires for control, and realizing that we are not in control intensifies our insecurity and somehow this can result in anxiety.

Jesus points out that God provides abundantly for the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. God cares deeply for all of his creation. So, we can be confident that God will certainly provide for us v26-28.

And with God’s providence comes his amazing power to reset our focus in life, affirming that indeed God is in control and knows what is best for us always v32.

PRAYER

Lord, help us to let go of the worries of life. Teach us to trust in you, knowing you will work all things for good. In Jesus' name Amen.
