Worry, Worry, Worry?

Matthew 6:25-27“Therefore 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 than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
     Do not worry about anything.  Yea, I bet we can do that. (I doubt it.)  I know sometimes it is really hard to stop worrying over things, but you know what?  It is all in God's hands.  Here's a great example,  I had to write a five minute debate and it was THE LAST NIGHT.  I was so worked up and frustrated. (I should have done it a while ago, but I didn't) and any ways I had to stop myself and say "Jackie, you need to calm down.  Put this in God's hands and calm down."  So I did just that, and guess what happened, the roads were frozen and co-op (A group that homeschoolers gather and learn a specific subject.) was two hours late.  Enough time to finish my debate!  I would have never finished it if it wasn't for God and his special way of helping me out.  Just like Jesus said, look up in the sky and see the birds, if God can feed the birds in the air and every animal on this earth than I know he can give us our needs. 
     Also do not worry about what you look like, life is more important than looks.  We were not made to worry over how we look.  We were here to full fill God's purpose.  We are more valuable than birds and if God feeds them He will feed us more than we can hold.
