do not worry
So, I’m trying to let go of the anger that has been welling up within me this evening after stewing about the hospital ridiculousness. Now Chloe has a fever of 101.4 and a sore throat so now I don’t even know if she could come if they would let her. I am so tired of the attacks and one thing after another going “wrong.” Please pray for a quick recovery for her and that none of the rest of us catch whatever she’s carrying.
Here’s what I just finished reading. I hope to have a peaceful night’s sleep tonight.
From Matthew chapter 6:
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[b]?
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.
Not worrying is getting harder for me every day but tonight I’m going to try to let it go.

I’m right here with you. I’m trying not to worry also. Let’s do it together. It will make the enemy angry, and he deserves to be angry. Praying for Chloe and all of the rest of you too.
