worries & cares

Do things feel like life is a train wreck?

Does it feel like if it's not one thing, it's another?

Is life just a little too overwhelming?

Are there things, situations, people, or jobs that cause a deep, deep worry?

Does life feel more than just a little nuts?

Maybe this verse addresses some of that for anyone who feel besieged by life, overwhelmed by circumstances, or worried sick.

Maybe we each should take these words of Jesus seriously & depend on the truth He speaks here.

Maybe this is a verse than can give us something to hold on to, an anchor in a time of storm.

Now we have a choice here...

We can continue to carry our worries & cares, figuring that noe one else is help us.

Or we can choose to believe what Jesus says about what we can do in regards to the crazy things in our lives.
