Introduction Many people are worried about the future. Americans are either losing their job, getting laid off, or fear that they might get the next pink slip. So how will I pay my bills? Where will I live? How will I provide for my children? But Jesus commanded that we are not to worry!

Introduction But we have likely failed to keep this command. Jesus would not give us a command that we did not have the ability to keep. Jesus gives us several reasons why we should not worry in Matthew 6: Let us learn from our Lord how we can overcome this problem which easily besets us so that we can be more useful in the Lord’s service.

Don’t Worry- You are Very Precious to God Since God has given us our very lives, we can trust Him to give us what we need for our bodies (Matt. 6:25; 2 Peter 1:3; Acts 17:25). God feeds the birds and you are of greater value to Him than them (Matt. 6:26; Luke 12:6-7). If God does not forget one single sparrow (which is worth less than a penny) do you think that He will forget about you and the fears that you are facing?

Don’t Worry- You are Very Precious to God Br. A. W. Dicus wrote these words to music, “"Lord, I believe, yes, I believe, I cannot doubt or be deceived; The eye that sees each sparrow fall, His unseen hand is in it all.“ God wove us in our mother’s womb and knows our most intimate thoughts (Ps. 139: 13). While we were still ungodly, God sent His son to redeem us from our sins and from the wrath to come (Romans 5:8-11).

Don’t Worry- It is Useless and Harmful Worrying about your height or the length of life will not help you (Matthew 6:27). Worrying about your height or the length of life will not help you (Matthew 6:27). Many worry themselves to an early grave over things they cannot control. The wife is worried because her husband is late and wonders if he is cheating on her. The husband worries about his wife spending too much money at the mall.

Don’t Worry- It is Useless and Harmful Parents are concerned about the faithfulness of their children or grandchildren living away from home in a wicked world. Parents are concerned about the faithfulness of their children or grandchildren living away from home in a wicked world. A mother worries because her teenager has not come home and begins to imagine they have been in an accident, they are injured, or may have died. Is all of that worry going to help in any of those situations or will it be harmful?

Don’t Worry- It is Useless and Harmful Dr. Charles Mayo, of the famed Mayo Clinic, once said, "Worry affects the circulation -- the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system. I have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt." Dr. Charles Mayo, of the famed Mayo Clinic, once said, "Worry affects the circulation -- the heart, the glands, the whole nervous system. I have never known a man who died from overwork, but many who died from doubt." If you are always worried about something and sharing it with your spouse, children, friend or brethren, it is not only useless but will likely be harmful to them unless they tell you to quit worrying about it.

Don’t Worry- It Demonstrates a Lack of Faith in God If God can clothe the lilies and grass of the field will he not be able to provide clothing for you? If God can clothe the lilies and grass of the field will he not be able to provide clothing for you? Jesus rebukes them for their lack of faith. (Matthew 6:28-30) Do we not have the faith that God will be with us and our loved ones that we are concerned about? (Romans 8:31ff)

Don’t Worry- It Demonstrates a Lack of Faith in God Our Heavenly Father knows what we need and has promised to provide all the necessities of life if we will put Him first in our lives. (Matthew 6:31-33) Our Heavenly Father knows what we need and has promised to provide all the necessities of life if we will put Him first in our lives. (Matthew 6:31-33) If we are worrying, can we truly be putting the kingdom of God first in our lives? Are you walking by faith or by sight? (2 Cor. 5:7; Heb. 11:1)

How Do You Overcome Worry? Be content to live one day at a time for the Lord. (Matthew 6:34; Philippians 3:13-14) Pray without doubting and God has promised you that you will have the peace that passes all understanding (Phil. 4:6-7; James 1:5-8). Focus on the positive instead of the negative. (Philippians 4:8) “Cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

Conclusion Are you worrying about things you can’t control? Don’t worry- You need to realize that you are precious to God, it is useless and harmful, and it demonstrates a lack of faith in God. Examine yourself by the Scriptures and be honest. Are you truly seeking the kingdom of God first? (2 Cor. 13:5; Matt. 6:33) You can be free from the burden of sin by obeying the gospel or being restored!
