Hi dear Steemians, lately I have been going through a lot of mental stress, I am faced with life threatening changes, I am faced with the task of making critical and challenging decisions that would change my life(as I know it) for ever.
Faced with all these I have been stuck on a period of deep thoughts and pondering on the way forward.
Then I remembered that the bible said in "Matthew 6:25-34 New International Version (NIV) Do Not Worry
25 “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?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own".
It is clear therefore that we do not need to worry about our material needs, we should instead focus all our energy on God and the kingdom of God and also strive to be righteous, then God will handle our issues.
