Your goal is not to know every detail of the future.
Your goal is to hold the hand of the One who does, and never, ever let go!
Jesus tells us rather bluntly,
“Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on” (Matthew 6:25).
He then gives us two commands, look and consider.
“Look at the birds of the air” (Matthew 6:26).
When we do, they appear happy. They don’t appear sleep deprived or lonely. They whistle and soar! He then says,
“Consider the lilies” (Matthew 6:28).
And he adds,
“Even Solomon,” the richest king in history, “was not arrayed like one of these” (Matthew 6:29).
How do we disarm anxiety?
Stockpile our minds with God thoughts. If birds and flowers fall under the category of God’s care, won’t he care for us as well?

If you don’t know Jesus and would like to start giving your anxiety him to him, we encourage you to pray the following prayer and begin your relationship with him:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step towards a personal relationship with Jesus. He will guide and encourage you every step of the way.
