Matthew 6:25-26
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 than food, and the body more than clothes?
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? - Matthew 6:25-26
Dear Jesus,
You had very little in this life and no savings to speak of, yet you didn’t worry about anything, not even when you could not see where your next meal came from. I have so much more than you allowed yourself and yet worry nips at my heals often. I find great strength in your words here. You point me to the birds and remind me that I’m more valuable to you than them. When worry comes calling to meet with me today I will tell him that I’m too busy chatting with faith. Thanks for giving me something to do about my worry.
Amen

Worry fills the vacuum when we shove God out of our hearts.
