So often times I think that by worrying i can better solve the problems that i am dealing with but Jesus teaches us that to worry is a lack of faith.
Matthew 6:25-34
Do Not Worry
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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look 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? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If 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? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

AWESOME QUESTION!
"jesus wept"
its the shortest verse in the bible but you can tell so much from it... first is the fact that jesus (god) himself had human qualities and emotions... the second part is, that this verse is the story when jesus raises lazarus from the dead...
now jesus already knew that lazarus was gonna be risen from the dead, because he was gonna be the one to do that... but nobody else in the room knew that.
all the friends and family members were sad that lazarus was dead, adn jesus seeing all the different emotions, also made him emotional..
it was jesus knowing how everyone else felt, and he wept with them.
this tells us that he wasnt cocky, like this is what i can do, but instead he felt deep into the hearts of others around him and had compassion for each one of them..
we need to be more like him and have a humble heart and think about the emotions that others have.
ALL THAT FROM 2 WORDS
JESUS WEPT

Well there are times that the world sucks so much....that you can feel as though your world is out of control...So I like 2 Timothy 1:7....and also I love the verse (I can't find it right now)....that God's mercy is new each morning...I use to get so depressed because I just felt like I messed up all the time....sometimes it felt like the mountain was just too high to go up again when I felt like I fell so far down...but when I read that verse it set me free...because God knows we are going to need his mercy EVERY day...so know when I stub my toe on a rock....I don't fall all the way to the bottom....I just stumble....and pick myself back up and keep going from mountain top to mountain top....Be Blessed.

John 3:16 Proverbs 3:5&6 Isaiah 3:26. There is a great website that tells you where to look in any time. Sorrow, joy,depression, trust, happiness etc. It is called godsyellowpages.com. It is really good. Good luck.

there are so many, I love, but one that really sticks out, The good word, don't quote me, we must consult the good book for exactness. Is God is compassionate, ready to forgive, ask of God to instruct in being all you can be as long as no one gets hurt in any way, defrauded or cheated, lied to, reject or any reason, You might find yourself one day at the epitome of your life and you are going for this number 1 interview of your life, that when you finally arrive, it is Johnny, the kid in 3rd grade you made fun of or someone else did and you did not give a kind and uplifting word of friendship. The one to stick out will be your humanitarian heart. Good travels.

Philippians 4 - I like the whole chapter. It has so many important verses: what to think on, don't be anxious, learning to be content in all circumstances, plus the famouse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Psalms 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but is shall not come nigh thee.
This verse gives me courage wherever I go, or whatever I do.

Eph 3:14-19
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
