16. “Anxiety does not
empty tomorrow of its
sorrows, but only
empties today of its
strength.”
CHARLES SPURGEON

17. MATTHEW 6:25-34
25 “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?
26 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?

18. MATTHEW 6:25-34
27 Can any one of you by worrying add
a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the flowers of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in
all his splendor was dressed like one of
these.

19. MATTHEW 6:25-34
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of
the field, which is here today and
tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not
much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall
we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or
‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these
things, and your heavenly Father knows
that you need them.

20. MATTHEW 6:25-34
33 “But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be
given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its
own.

21. Anxious thought incapacitates
for a wise ordering of life.
It paralyzes you, making you too
upset to accomplish anything
productive.

and lean not on your own understanding;

make your paths straight.

36. “I will do what God asks me to do.
I will give God what I cannot do.
No matter what happens, I will
trust God.”

37. God gives us the glorious
gift of life today –
Live with it in joy and complete
peace in Him.

38. Worries that turned into prayers
will build our trust –
Trust that will
strengthen our faith.

hostage of worries by
completely trusting God—
His Protection
& His Promise.
His Provision,
