Do Not Worry
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life? So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 6:25-27, 34
Spoken to subsistence farmers and fishermen for whom food and clothing were genuine daily uncertainties, with birds overhead and lilies underfoot as his visual aids.
Jesus treats worry not as a temperament but as a theology problem: it quietly assumes an unwatchful Father. His logic stands on value, you are worth more than the birds he feeds, and on math, worry has never added an hour to anyone. Each day's trouble is rationed to the day.
When tomorrow's fear arrives tonight, refuse it entry on schedule grounds: it is not today's assignment. Hand it to the Father in one sentence and return to what is actually in front of you.
