Fed Without Fretting

Matthew 6:25-26
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?
Worry feels responsible, as though thinking harder about tomorrow could secure it. Jesus points to the birds, which do not store up and yet are fed. He is not telling us to be careless. He is inviting us to notice that we are held by a Father who knows what we need. Do the work in front of you today, and leave tomorrow where it belongs, in his hands.
Today’s prayer
Heavenly Father, loosen my grip on tomorrow. Teach me to trust your daily care. Amen.
