Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

 Matthew 6:25-34

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Everyone must decide their own priorities. Those who put God first can rest assured he knows all their needs and will not fail to supply them. They can be free from anxiety.

Why?

Do not worry! For the worry can not benefit anyone or anything. Everything is under the control of the Lord. Worry can not add a single hour to our life. But may reduce our life and unhappiness.

Just seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well, how great Jesus and the Lord blesses us. Do our jobs.

How?

Even today what I will do left to the hands of the Lord, may the Holy Spirit leads me and give me the words I say.
