Let Go of Worry and Embrace Peace

Takeaway: Worrying doesn't help us. It only steals our joy.

Context

Jesus is speaking to a crowd about life and the things that weigh us down. He’s reminding them that worrying about life’s uncertainties doesn’t change anything. Instead, He wants them to focus on trust and faith.

Meaning

This verse hits home for many of us. We often worry about our jobs, relationships, and even our health. It’s so easy to get caught up in what-ifs. But Jesus challenges us. He asks us to consider how worry actually affects our lives. It doesn't add time. In fact, it may even take away from our joy and peace.

Worry often feels like a heavy burden. It can consume our thoughts. But here’s the truth: God cares for us. He knows our needs and wants us to trust Him. Instead of spiraling into anxiety, we can choose to bring our concerns to Him. Focusing on what we can control can help us let go of what we can't.

Live It

Take a few minutes today to write down your worries.
When you feel anxious, pause and breathe deeply for a minute.
