Luke 12:22-31
And he said to his disciples,
“Therefore
I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about
your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more
than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor
reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how
much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious
can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do
as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest Consider
the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But
if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And
do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For
all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows
that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these
things will be added to you.
I am all around you, like a cocoon of Light.
My Presence with you is a promise, independent of your awareness of Me. Many
things can block this awareness, but the major culprit is worry. My children
tend to accept worry as an inescapable fact of life. However, worry is a form
of unbelief; it is anathema to Me.
Who is in charge of your life? If it is you, then you
have good reason to worry. But if it is I, then worry is both unnecessary and
counterproductive. When you start to feel anxious about something, relinquish
the situation to Me. Back off a bit, redirecting your focus to Me. I will
either take care of the problem Myself or show you how to handle it. In this
world you will have problems, but you need not to lose sight of Me.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
