For lots of people in this hard and sometimes cruel world, the ever constant pressures and expectations cause the horrible and sometimes crushing feelings that are anxiety and stress. For some reason, however, when they read Bible verses anxiety and feelings of torturous pressure seem to fade. This is no accident.
Christians are people who believe with all their hart that when the bible describes a man to be the Saviour of all mankind it speaks the truth. This saviour being Jesus. They believe everything said about Him and everything he says and put such things into practice.
We can read about Jesus' life on earth directly in the gospels at the start of the new testament Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Throughout the ministry of Jesus that lasted only three years a sermon was given upon a mountain that we can read about in detail. It has been given the tittle "Do Not Worry" by us as the readers.
This sermon was given upon a hill or mountain at some place in the middle of Capernaum and Tabgha in the Middle east where Jesus lived his whole life. The 'Sermon on the Mount' as it has come to be known gives the reasons why we should not worry about life or its components.
The reason given to us as to why we should not worry is faith. Jesus tells us that God cares for you. With this in mind He then goes on to ask us why we should worry when that is true!
God cares for the grass and flowers in fields and so cloths the flowers with petals, and then asks the question; if God cares so much for the flowers that exist for such a short time before they die then how much more will you be clothed by God! He points out that flowers do not work. Flowers do not work for what they are wearing, nor do they make their cloths themselves yet God still cloths them. If it is important to God that flowers be clothed, then he will surly cloth you all the more. This is a soothing factor to many peoples anxiety and stress.
Many people work very hard and yet still struggle even to afford food. This inability to be able to afford the basic needs of life can be very scary indeed, but Jesus covers such an aspect in his sermon also. He points out the fact that God feeds the birds. Birds do not farm, or work for their food, they simply eat what is there; what is provided by God. Jesus then points out the fact that if God cares so much that the birds get all that they need and more, then how much more will be make sure that you get fed? In other words, God's passion for feeding birds is a passing fancy (no more than you might feed the birds after having fed your own children if you have them).
This passage is there to build trust and faith in the God of the bible. If you are a Christian close attention should be given to such passage and believe what Jesus says. Do not worry for God will not let you go without but provide everything that you need no matter what it be.
