Worry seems to be the top of many people's lists. It's about crises in the world. Inhumanity against humanity. What about elections coming up? Some natural disaster some place? We have been getting too much rain which leads to flooding. Farmers are having troubles getting their harvesting done.

Yet we are told by God 'not to worry'. Sometimes easier said than done.

So here is readers assignment:  Read Matthew 6:25 - 34.

A chart in my Living Application Bible near those verses says:

"The same God who created life in you can be trusted with the details of your life (vs. 25)

"Worrying about the future hampers your efforts today (vs. 26)

"Worrying is more harmful than helpful (vs. 27)

"God does not ignore those who depend on Him. (vs. 28-30)

"Worry shows a lack of faith and understanding of God (vs. 32)

"There are real challenges God wants us to pursue and worrying keeps us from them (vs. 33)

"Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry (vs.34)"

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand."

~ Philippians 4:6,7
