Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?

Luke 12:25 NIV

“The test proved inconclusive,” the doctor explained. “A follow-up scan will reveal if a true concern exists.” Most, if not all of us, have experienced the difficult days or weeks of waiting for medical results. What often fills the gap? Worry! Worry is a common human response.

Jesus reminds us that our worrying will not affect test results nor extend our lifespan. In fact, when measured against God’s good plan for us, our worrying always falls short. No matter what scenarios our minds conjure up, they can’t compete with our almighty Lord who walks with us each day. Our omniscient God knows our needs and has secured our future, no matter what the outcome. So cast your cares on Him today.

Holy Lord, my future is in Your hands. Help me to trust You each day. Amen.

Reflect: What worries you today? Give each concern to Jesus in prayer.
