We are living in an anxiety-prone world. With the rise of smartphone technology, unfettered access to media consumption, and endless distractions, we have become known as the anxious generation. So in Matthew 6:25-34 when Jesus commands us not to worry, it almost seems trite and easily skippable. But the command not to worry should be followed not because he is an overzealous command sergeant, but because he is a gracious and liberating king who is reminding us why we don't have to worry in the first place.
