Matthew 6:24-34

On a semi whim last weekend I decided to go to church with my dad on Sunday (Reminder I had worked all day the day before and then had to get up early to get to church on time in Topeka!) Most know that I don't even do that on a weekend when I'm home. I have nothing against church, I just like sleep! There really is nothing more to it. God knew what I needed, not I, and the church service was the best thing that has happened to me in a while! I've waited a week to blog about it, out of pure amazement of how much it meant to me.  The holy gospel of the day was :

 ²⁴ “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
    ²⁵ “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^[a]?
   ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If 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—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.    - Mathew 6:24-34

Never has a passage spoke to me so much, the whole service brought me to tears. Where has my faith gone? Why do I worry about such earthly things when God provides me so much?
"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" No, I can't, So why do i let all this anxiety get to me?  I know this seems like one of those back from church camp kind of posts... but i needed one of those more than anything!
