Did you know God really really hates worrying ? share too OK ?

Question

There is scarcely any sin against which our Lord Jesus more warns his disciples, than disquieting, distracting, distrustful cares about the things of this life. This often insnares the poor as much as the love of wealth does the rich. But there is a carefulness about temporal things which is a duty, though we must not carry these lawful cares too far. Take no thought for your life. Not about the length of it; but refer it to God to lengthen or shorten it as he pleases; our times are
in his hand, and they are in a good hand. Not about the comforts of this life; but leave it to God to make it bitter or sweet as he pleases. Food and raiment God has promised, therefore we may expect them. Take no thought for the morrow, for the time to come. Be not anxious for the future, how you shall live next year, or when you are old, or what you shall leave behind you. As we must not boast of tomorrow, so we must not care for to-morrow, or the events of it. God has given us life, and has
given us the body. And what can he not do for us, who did that? If we take care about our souls and for eternity, which are more than the body and its life, we may leave it to God to provide for us food and raiment, which are less. Improve this as an encouragement to trust in God. We must reconcile ourselves to our worldly estate, as we do to our stature. We cannot alter the disposals of Providence, therefore we must submit and resign ourselves to them. Thoughtfulness for our souls is the best
cure of thoughtfulness for the world. Seek first the kingdom of God, and make religion your business: say not that this is the way to starve; no, it is the way to be well provided for, even in this world. The conclusion of the whole matter is, that it is the will and command of the Lord Jesus, that by daily prayers we may get strength to bear us up under our daily troubles, and to arm us against the temptations that attend them, and then let none of these things move us. Happy are those who
take the Lord for their God, and make full proof of it by trusting themselves wholly to his wise disposal. Let thy Spirit convince us of sin in the want of this disposition, and take away the worldliness of our hearts.

Ok I have lost my $60000 job, my family each and every one, my friends,my church family, my health insurance and just about like Job but I haven't lost God and he sends me what I need when I look up and have faith so some of your worldly answers are a bit off. I agree we can't just sit back, it says that in the Bible, but I have learned we must listen and do it God's way . And often that isn't our way: a new RV boat vacation or even a warm house, MOther Teresa didn't have one and she was a saint. The lillies of the field and the birds of the sky do not worry and God provides for them

Answer 1

you are right. yet, we also have to contribute to the life god has given us.i live in the ghetto and there is no way we would exist if god did not give me the strength to help put food on the table. it will not fall from heaven in the hood. but we do have to pray and become closer to god, so our blessings can continue coming. thanks for the thought. it is great.

Answer 2

You're right. I'm going to quit my job, leave my family, quit paying taxes, and go lay in a field somewhere and wait for the lord to come and take me to paradise. I'd worry that my wife and little girl would be upset, but I don't want to make god mad at me by worrying about it.
That's some work ethic.

Answer 3

God doesn't worry. He would have to actually exist before he could worry.

God is a superstition.

Answer 4

Which is exactly WHY I don't waste very much time indeed
WORRYING ABOUT "GOD".

Answer 5

thanks for your book....i have to agree with it
