We all wrestle with anxiety—whether it’s big worries that shake us or the small, nagging ones that add up over time. But Jesus gives us eight reasons not to be anxious.

He tells us: Life is more than food and clothing. Look at the birds—they don’t store food, yet God feeds them. Worrying won’t add a single hour to your life. God clothes the lilies in beauty—won’t He care for you even more? The world chases after things, but your Father knows what you need.

So what’s the solution? Seek first God’s kingdom, and He’ll provide for you. Don’t borrow tomorrow’s troubles—grace is given one day at a time.

Jesus calls us to trust, not control. Anxiety often whispers that we must hold everything together, but Jesus reminds us: God already has.
Matthew 6:25-34
