Worry. Yes, I do. And yet, as Jesus rightly points out, I’m not going to live any longer by worrying. In fact I’ll possibly shorten my life with stress! And in any case, why shouldn’t I trust in God’s goodness towards me and his promise that he has me in his care. During various times of crisis or worry in my life, I have said to myself, ‘Now is the time to live the rhetoric of your faith.’ In other words, to trust God and to know that I’m more important than the birds who seem to be doing just fine!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a life free of worry! Can we?
Pray: Dear Lord God and Father, we know there will be times in our lives when we will worry. Please help us to remember your promises to us and to rest in your unfailing love for us. Help us trust that you have our best interests at heart, no matter what the circumstances. Amen.

About this Plan
The irritating benefit of hindsight is that it is often easier to see why we should have listened to biblical wisdom when we suffer through trials and difficulties. The one thing I keep learning is that the wisdom was there all along; I just needed to look for it. It is one thing to have faith in your head. It is quite another to live out that faith in your heart, day by day.
