7 reasons not to worry

The same God who created life in you can be trusted with the details in your life.
Matthew 6:25 That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?

Worrying about the future hampers your effort for today.
6:26 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?

Worrying is more harmful than helpful.
6:27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

God does not ignore those who depend on Him.
6:28-30 And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

Worrying shows a lack of faith in and understanding of God.
6:31-32 So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.

Worrying keeps us from real challenges God wants us to pursue.
6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry.
6:34 So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
