Do NOT Worry!

Matthew 6:25-34 (New International Version)
v25 "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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
v26 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?
v27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
v28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
v29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
v30 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, O you of little faith?
v31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
v32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
v33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
v34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


This post is mainly to those who have not done well in 'O' levels and are worrying about their future. Verse 27 says it very clearly, since we cannot add a single second even if we worry, why do we worry then? Why not just trust God and let Him deliver you through the tough times. I know it is hard to trust God and surrender at this point of time, you may even begin to doubt God and start giving up. But i just want to remind you of your purpose on earth. Not to do well in studies, not to be rich and powerful, not to have the most friends BUT TO DO THE WILL OF GOD!

How much you can surrender to God is how much you trust that God is in control. Pray to Him now for Him to take away all your worries, sadness and emotions. And for Him to show you your path in future. God will still listen to you no matter how crappy you feel about yourself. Trust God and hang in there! God bless!
