"Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing." Luke 12:23
You're worrying doesn't help.
Why?
Because you are focusing on the wrong things. You're worrying about yourself, what you'll eat, how you'll look today. How will focusing on those things accomplish anything?
Look around you and see what you've been missing. Look up, to the sky, see the birds as they fly. First one way, then the next, but do they go hungry? Your Father/Mother made the birds and care for them still, do you think you are less loved than the birds? Yet your worries do not cease.
So, look down, to the ground, see the flowers as they bloom. See their beauty. The beauty on the magazine covers and movie screens pale in comparison to the beauty of the wildflower, yet you compare yourself to them. Botox, tummy tucks, cool sculpting, breast enhancement, hair coloring, pretty things to wear. Do you consider yourself lower than a flower? Your Father/Mother made them and loves them and clothes them in beauty, but you so much more so.
Worry about food and find hunger pains. Worry about clothes and feel naked. Focus on others and the kingdom and the Father/Mother and find it all and more.
+ Does it help you understand what Jesus is saying when it is placed in your context?
+ Do you trust God to provide?
