Why worry?\\xa0

Worry is unreasonable.
(Matthew 6:25) \\u201cTherefore 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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes?\\u201d

Worry is unnatural.
(Matthew 6:26) \\u201cLook 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?\\u201d

Worry is unhelpful.
(Matthew 6:27) \\u201cWho of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?\\u201d

Worry is unnecessary.
(Matthew 6:30) \\u201cIf 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, O you of little faith?\\u201d
