We were studying in Luke 12 last night and there was a discussion about how often in God's Word, He promises us "How Much More." Each time, He emphasises our value. He gets into all of this to tell us how much He loves us, so we don't have to worry.
Often, people feel just the opposite. They feel that because they worry, He isn't going to be there because of their lack of faith- or until they get it right. That's alot of pressure.
The point is that you can waste energy on worry if you want, but there is little we can do in these matters, besides trusting God.
We discussed verse 30 and how the pagan nations have needs(desires) and will do whatever to get these needs met.
The flip side of that worldly view is the assurance we, The children of our Father, can trust that He knows and will provide.
One gentleman spoke up and said that this was all good in theory, but how do we put this into practice? To consistently trust and not worry.
I would like to know your thoughts.

it's a battle i always feel like i'm losing. i just keep praying that i see the situation through God's eyes and that every thought i have will come from Him.
