In these past years all humanity has been involved in some way in the turmoil of the pandemic. It has affected us in so many ways that anxiety has taken its toll in the lives of so many people! But we cannot let it oppress us and enslave us! There is a solution and in God’s Word, Jesus taught His followers. –who were also dealing with oppression- the steps to follow: (Matthew 6:25-34 AMP)

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Yes, we should stop being worried= perpetually uneasy, distracted, about anything! You might say it is easier said than done, but when you realize WHO you are putting your trust in, than you can freely rest on Him and put ALL your confidence in your Heavenly Father!

³⁰ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive and green today and tomorrow is [cut and] thrown [as fuel] into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

Jesus wants us to take a close look at how God pours out His blessings over nature, and asks us to ponder: “Aren’t we as His children, of far more value?” Remember just how much you are loved for He gave His Son in ransom for us! (John 3:16)

³² For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

When we are worried and anxious about the material things of life we behave like pagans… like idol worshippers! We set our trust on our own efforts and set out hearts on our needs.

Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need and in the exact time He will provide. But can you trust Him enough to let go? What is distracting you from receiving the blessings of His Provision for each aspect of your life?
