"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or about your body, what you will wear..."
Sometimes I tend to be a worrier. I worry about what will happen in the future, and what will happen with my day... I justify it most of the time by telling myself that its CARING and not WORRYING. That's a lie.
Gosh, if I were really not to worry, what would my life look like? Jesus tells us that we shouldn't worry about ANYTHING. Golly, that's hard.
This year is my senior year of high school, and somehow people expect you have your whole life plan figured out... and sometimes I ask God to show me that big picture. But ultimately, its His grace that keeps things from me, because He knows that I will worry and stress about the plans that He has for me. His grace is what really keeps me from knowing the road ahead.
So is it okay then for me to just say that I don't know? Like when people (possibly even you) ask me what I am planning on doing with my life, can the new acceptable answer be "I don't know!"? Could it really be that is the right answer after all? That we would just lean on God in such a way that we wouldn't have the opportunity to manufacture an answer?
Society needs to stop pressuring people to worry about their lives...
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
