In Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus says "do not be anxious" several times. Common sense says worry doesn’t make any sense. Live today, relax about tomorrow. Worrying about tomorrow today is useless because you are wasting today worrying when God wants you to live your life. You don’t deal with what God wants you to deal with – the tasks and troubles of today – responsibilities, as well as issues.
Trouble (Greek kakia – evil) happens (Matthew 6:34). Our freedom from anxiety does not come from a guarantee of no trouble, but a guarantee that trouble will be used by God for good. God has promised that He will work all things together for good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose (see Rom. 8:28).
Worry is a waste of time and effort. Live one day at a time. Plan for the future but don’t stress out about it. If you worry about something that never happens you worried for nothing. If you worry about something that does end up happening you worried twice! Worry doubles your troubles!
