Why Worry?
READ: Matthew 6:24-34
Life in high school can bring lots of pressure. We often worry about what we look like and if we are wearing the latest styles. Sometimes we worry about taking tests. Other times we have problems at home that cause us to worry. God says there is no need to worry, because He will never stop providing for our needs.
Instead of worrying about material things, we should listen to what Jesus tells us. Look around at nature. God cares for the animals and they don’t worry. Would God provide for them and forget His own children who are far more important to Him? Our trust in Jesus ought to shut out every worry we have.
We don’t need to worry about our daily problems. God is always caring for us. Even when everything seems to be going wrong, He is still watching over us. The next time you are upset or worried about anything, pray to God. Ask Him to help you overcome your worries. He will always care for your needs.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: Why is there no need to worry? How can we overcome the problems we are faced with and forget our worries?
PRAYER SUGGESTIONS: Ask God to give you the strength to overcome your worries. Anytime you have a problem, ask God to be with you.
