Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will finish or complete; or about your grades, what you will have for your next assignment. Is not life more than school, and the body more than knowledge? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not learn or practice or store away information, and yet your heavenly Father cares for them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about your work? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or study. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘When will I finish?’ or ‘I have too much to do’ or ‘What shall we do?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need to finish them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."*the italicized words are the ones i changed, and the bold emphasis was added.
This is really, really good.
ReplyDeleteI like that you didn't change a whole lot, so the actual scripture was still there, just applied to what was happening to you.
