A Note From the Editor

DO WORRIES EVER

get the best of you?

I would like to say that never happens to me,

but inevitably anxiety crowds in. I close my

eyes to pray in the morning, hoping for some

blissful release, and the worries make their

chattering racket heard. Like the birds outside.

No surprise then that Jesus mentioned birds

when it comes to worries. “Look at the birds of the air,” Jesus said,

“they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your

heavenly Father feeds them” (Matthew 6:26). Or when it comes

to fretting about having enough to wear: “Consider the lilies of

the ﬁeld, how they grow,” He said, “they neither toil nor spin, yet

I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one

of these” (Matthew 6:28–29).

The other day I had to stop and truly consider the birds—robins

ﬂitting among the brush, gathering twigs to build their nests;

hummingbirds sucking nectar from the ﬂowers; raptors cruising

the sky, ready to pounce on dinner. They may not worry, but

they sure do work hard, tirelessly. Same with the lilies of the ﬁeld,

drawing up the sun’s rays and nutrients from the soil.

It made me realize how easy it is to confuse work with worry.

Jesus gives me a new way of thinking about it.

Yes, Rick, keep up

the good work. Just let go of the fretting.

Listen to what Jesus has to tell you in this issue of

Mornings

With Jesus.
