Why do so many Christians doubt or worry? The bible gives us clear evidence that doubt and worry are without merit. We doubt that God knows us or cares about us but Jesus says that He knows the very hairs on our head! We doubt we can endure what life throws at us but Paul tells us that we will not be tempted above our ability to withstand. We doubt our salvation but Paul says there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus!

2. Matthew 6:25-33
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat or what
you will drink; nor about your body, what
you will put on. Is not life more than food
and the body more than clothing?

3. Matthew 6:25-33
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they
neither sow nor reap nor gather into
barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value than
they?

4. Matthew 6:25-33
27 Which of you by worrying can add one
cubit to his stature?

grow: they neither toil nor spin;

5. Matthew 6:25-33
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass
of the field, which today is, and
tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will
He not much more clothe
you, O you of little faith?

6. Matthew 6:25-33
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What
shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’
or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all
these things the Gentiles seek. For your
heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things.

7. Matthew 6:25-33
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added to you.

11. Matthew 10:29-31

of more value than many sparrows.

is set before us,

17. Hebrews 12:1-3

at the right hand of the throne of God.

of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
