Matthew 6:31-34 (New International Version)
31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Worry is just another burden that we are never intended to bear. As what Pastor Robert said last Sunday: Putting God first, produces a worry-free life. He is an exact God, so what is there to worry about? Worrying never made anything better (based on fact and on experience). Imagine, of all things we worry about, only 8% are actual problems. I say it's just a waste of effort, time and resource. Easier said than done (well, what isn't anyway). We worry because of the uncertainty of the future. But like always, we just have to learn to let go and let God.
The things you worry about are things you are mostly devoted to
