Teachings of Jesus: Do Not Worry. God Knows and Will Meet Your Needs
Jesus says, look at the birds, look at the grass: God takes care of them. Aren't you more important than a bird? God is going to provide. Now, that doesn't mean that we don't have to work. Obviously we do. The birds have to gather all their seeds, and make their nests, and do other bird chores, whatever those are, but they don't worry about it. When was the last time you saw a worried bird, wringing its little wings in worry? You never see that. Because bird brained though they are, they seem to know more than we do, that God is going to provide for our needs, maybe not all our wants, but everything that we need. I have had dozens of you tell me stories about being in tough financial times and wondering how you were going to make ends meet only to see, usually at the last minute, an unexpected raise, or you find your expenses were less than you thought, or you discover you didn't need as much as you thought you did. Jesus is saying we live in an economy of abundance. There's more than enough to take care of everybody: God's going to provide. Sometimes he does that directly, and sometimes he does that through other people. Many of you have heard the statistic that there is enough food in the world to feed everybody, but the reason that some people don't have enough food to eat is that some people aren't sharing what they've got, or there are wars, or bad governments, that make distribution hard. God gave us everything we need to meet everybody's needs. Our job is to distribute it. Do you know that there is $15 billion of loose change just floating around America? Talk about an economy of abundance: $15 billion sitting in people's piggy banks or behind their washers and dryers along with all the missing socks. What would happen if every Christian turned in all of their coins to go for job training for the urban poor? Jesus is saying we live in an economy of abundance and God will provide, either directly, or through other people.

I am new to being in tune with Jesus and God, I still have bouts of worry. It really gets to me at times, I worry about how we will survive with our bills and there are times when I feel like all is lost. We have friends at church that have less than we do and yet they are some of the happiest people I know. I wonder how I can get to that point. I hate worrying about things but I do. I know it is Satan sitting there trying to put doubt in my head, and sometimes it gets to me. I get to where I can't eat or sleep. Does anyone have any advice?

Teachings of Jesus: Do Not Worry. God Knows and Will Meet Your Needs
God knows what I need every day. I believe in His words. I am learning not to worry about what I eat, as it is always given from Him. I do not worry the body too much, because God has shown me my soul. Live every day like it`s the last day on earth. Enjoy every moment and second you live in. Amen

Teachings of Jesus: Do Not Worry. God Knows and Will Meet Your Needs
I am 31 years old, filipino and is now suffering from kidney illness. In fact, i am already advised to have a transplant. Unfortunately, I forget about the word , transplant as my family doesn`t have the amount needed for it. What I am doing now is that I have begged God and asked him to fulfill His promises in the bilble the He would heal me. So almost everyday, I surf the internet to find sites where I can develop and increase my relationship level to our almighty till I found this website and little did i know that this has become part of my daily routine and i can feel the longing, the grace, the holy spirit filling the joy in my heart. While i am doing this, I feel the comfort and even forget that i am bearing a deadly illness.Now, I am very happy as I believe god`s healing over my life. Amidst the pain from my weekly injections along with blood extractions from different laboratory tests almost every week, I managed to keep and hold on to God`s promises because I have realized how He loves me, us that he allowed these trials to happen in life. I believe that it is through this illness of mine, i have discovered Him more and that He has his own purpose why this is happening. I am honestly and sincerely asking you people here to pray for me and all others around the world for complete healing in Jesus` name.. To god be the glory. I`ll be sharing you in the future All god`s works for me. God bless us all!

I am a great worrier person and somehow one of the causes of my kidney disease. Yeah I have read many passages in the bible not to worry but why are there sometimes doubts of god`s promises do arrise still? Is it that my faith in the Lord is lacking?

Jesus says that God the Father feeds the birds who are less then we are. why then are there people who starve to death or die of thirst. why doesnt the Father feed them? is it we who are to provide in God`s name? How can we reach each and everyone of

"Therefore do not worry, saying, ; What will we eat?' or 'What will we wear? For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ( Matthew 6:31-33)

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: the neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!" ( Luke 12:22-24)

"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today." ( Matthew 6:34)

"And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to the span of life?" ( Luke 12:25)

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." ( John 14:27)
