I have decided that I will not worry anymore. I have decided to be like “...the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” [Matthew 6:26 NRSV] I have decided I will not “...worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own,” that “today’s trouble is enough for today.” [Matthew 6:34 NRSV] For I have fretted in the past, as when I was unemployed or some strife was hounding me — but every time, something came up, something happened, and I was taken care of. And then each new time something else befell me, I would worry again: o me of little faith. But no more of that, I think. My Lord watches over me, though I little think of it, and I realize finally that I will always be rescued. No — it is not to be frivolous with such a gift, not irresponsible — but to keep in faith, to keep in good cheer. My Lord hears even the smallest sparrow fall. And I am worth many sparrows. [See Matthew 10:29–31.]
