Matthew 6:25–32

Anxiety may visit your heart, knock loudly and return repeatedly—but it does not have to sit on the throne.

In Matthew 6, Jesus does not deny that our needs are real. He does not tell us to ignore our responsibilities, stop planning or pretend that everything is fine. Instead, He directs our attention to the faithful care of our heavenly Father.

Jesus reminds us:

• Your life is greater than the problem you are facing.
• The Father who feeds the birds and clothes the flowers has not forgotten you.
• Your heavenly Father already knows what you need.

Faith does not mean that we will never feel afraid. Faith means bringing our fears to the Father rather than allowing them to become our master.

The gospel does not say, “Stop worrying so that God will accept you.”

The gospel says, “Because you are accepted through Christ, you can bring your worries honestly to the Father.”

Jesus does not merely tell anxious people to calm down. Through His death and resurrection, He brings anxious people home to the Father.

So work faithfully. Plan wisely. Ask for help when you need it. Support others where you can. And entrust what you cannot control to the Father who knows, values and cares for you.

The Father’s care is not a reward for perfect faith. It is the ground upon which weak faith learns to stand.
