Do Not Worry

Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?

"Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.


This is what God shown me recently. Some of you may find it easy to do so...not so much when the circumstances come and everything is against you. Why am i bringing this up? Well, just 3 days ago. The department my dad is working in shanghai closed down. As a results, all the employees in that department is being retrenched. My dad is quite old...close to 60. it's hard for him to get a new job. He was the sole bread winner. And all this equates that if he is unable to get a job, i would become the sole breadwinner of the family.

Like, wow! im only 20. i wont be just working so that i could get the stuff i wanted but rather to support the entire family.During my training with MOE, i would be recieving abt 1.4K. But i doubt it would be sufficiently enough.

Then again, i know what Jesus says....it's just so hard...so hard to have faith.The person inside of me is screaming and frantically looking for a way out of this situation.Yet how true..."Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient."
