What if the greatest barrier to peace in our lives isn't our circumstances, but our inability to stop replaying the past and rehearsing the future? This powerful exploration of Matthew 6:25-34 confronts us with a challenging truth: worry isn't just thinking about something repeatedly—it's functionally not trusting that God is in control. Through Jesus's words in the Sermon on the Mount, we discover that worry pulls us out of the present moment, divides our attention from what truly matters, and robs us of joy with the people we love most. The message unpacks how worry is both a measure of unbelief and pride, as we take responsibility for things God never intended us to carry. But here's the hope: Jesus doesn't just command us not to worry—He provides a pathway out. Through three practical keys hidden in the text—consider, list, and seek—we learn that the solution to worry isn't greater control or accomplishment, but belonging. When we chase after Jesus and His kingdom first, we discover that our Heavenly Father already provides what we actually need. The antidote to anxiety isn't found in tips and tricks, but in relationship with the One who holds both our past and future in His hands.
