Song: Why Worry When You Can Pray.
Why worry when you can pray?
Trust Jesus, He'll be your stay;
Don't be a "doubting Thomas,"
Rest fully on His promise,
Why worry, worry, worry, worry,
when you can pray?
Don't Worry
Matthew 6:25-34 NCV
Prophetic Message from Jesus:
"So I tell you, don't worry about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. Look at the birds in the air. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, but your heavenly father feeds them. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds. You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it. And why do you worry about clothes? Look at how the lilies in the field grow. They don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can even more sure that God will clothe you. Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them. The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you. So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Dorothy: Jesus has spoken to us through His Word of encouragement, "Not to worry." We need deliverance from "worry", don't we? It seems natural for us to worry, but Jesus tells us that it isn't natural to worry. It belongs to the people who don't know God. Ouch! We are God's people and we are suppose to know that God takes care of us and we are not suppose to worry. Worry is the opposite of "Have faith in God." Jesus tells us to "Have faith in God." So let's not worry today.
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for checking on us, not to worry about things we need. Help us to go deep inside of us and take that worry out of us and give us peace. In Jesus' Name. Amen!
