Life’s Anxieties

What are you worried and anxious about? Does it matter? Does it REALLY matter? Is what you are worried and anxious over the sum-total of your life?
We can be anxious about many details of our lives, but anxieties and the details we are anxious over to not compromise the entirety of our life. Our life is more than what we are anxious about.
In Matthew’s gospel account, Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25, ESV).
Our life is more than having our needs met. Our life is more than our anxieties.
May we be anxious for nothing and enjoy our lives as we trust in God to meet all our needs and to take good care of us.
A Prayer for Trustfulness in Times of Worry and Anxiety: “Most loving Father, you will us to give thanks for all things, to dread nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on the One who cares for us. Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested unto us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
