“Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” Matthew 6:31-32 […]
“Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?” Matthew 6:27 TLB Some people just love to worry – and yet worrying doesn’t add any value to your life. In fact, worrying steals life from you – it won’t ever add life. WebMD tells us that “chronic worry and emotional stress can trigger […]
