1Pe 5:7 Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.

Worry can be a huge distraction for the man or woman of God. In Matthew 6, Jesus asks:
"who of you by worrying can add one hour to his life?" Realistically, worry and anxiety take hours from our life- and our time is the most precious gift He has given us.
So, the challenge is this: to keep and open hand when dealing with the responsibilities of life. To not grip to tightly to things when they come before us. I am not saying that the solution to worry is to stop caring. The solution is to trust and understand that He has our best interests in mind, and we should defer to him for wisdom and direction.

Father, I thank You that you want us to live a life focused on You. In Matthew 6, it also says to seek first YOUR kingdom, and all these things will be added. Strengthen us to be able to seek Your interests, not ours. I thank You in advance for the way You provide so sweetly during difficult times. Help me to be satisfied with what You have given me. Help me to not be distracted by what the world (who wants me to live in fear) says I need. I declare that
ALL I NEED IS YOU. Thank You for who You are and for what You've done in my life-
In Jesus' name, amen.
