I could make a list...

If I had the time I could make a list of every financial need I am worried about over the next 6 months, the planning of work schedules, my needs for daily life, etc. etc.

But what would that do?

Will it make them better? Will is make them go away?

In fact, I think it would make things worse. Seeing a long list of the car payments I need to make, the assignments I'm behind on, the things I don't know how to pay for.... I think it would just drive me nuts.
I think seeing it written out would overwhelm me more than the abstract thought of "I have a lot to accomplish these next few months."

So I won't. 

Why worry about it?

I know my God is bigger.

He is paying for Paraguay.

He is paying for Honduras.

He is paying for my car. My tuition. My life necessities.

I may not know how, where, and when, but I know HE WILL.

And that is enough.


Matthew 6

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? 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. 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. 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.
