The Antidote to Worry

The Antidote to Worry

Matthew 6:25-34

Some of us are more prone to anxiety than others. Yet as we read in today's passage, persistent worry is not our calling as Christians. We need not be anxious about tomorrow if we are serving Jesus, for while we may not get all of our wants, He will certainly give us all of our needs. If you are struggling with anxiety this day, take your eyes off yourself and do a good deed for another person. Then, ask God to help you learn how to trust in Him confidently.

Matthew 6:25-34

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
25Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
    26Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?
    27And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
    28And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.
    29But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
    30And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
    31Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
    32For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
    33Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
    34Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
