Do not be anxious about your life.
Matthew 6:25-26, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
There is a lot of anxiety over our economy. Jesus makes it clear in the preceding section that we cannot serve two masters, and we who follow him have chosen him as master over riches. When he blesses us we are able to help others, knowing that he who helps the poor lends to God. And we can always look to him for guidance in all that we do giving thanks each day for our daily bread. Peter urges us to caste all of our cares upon him, for he cares for us!
We cast all our cares upon you, we lay all of our burdens down at your feet, know that you care for us!
