How not to worry: Settle your heart on what Jesus says is true

So what does Jesus tell us about not worrying…
1.  Know that God the Father cares for you
Psalm 86:15, “But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.”
1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety onto God because he cares for you.”
2.  Know that worrying doesn’t change anything
Psalm 131:1-2, “I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.  But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.”
3.  Know that God is sovereign over my circumstances
Isaiah 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
4.  Know that if I focus on God, God will handle the rest
