Do not worry.

------- Ж Living [Physically] Ж
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Matthew 6:25
~
------- Ж Living [Spiritually] Ж
“And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Mark 13:11
~
------- Ж Living [{4} God’s glory {n} everything] Ж
“…do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Paul (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Philippians 4:6

Do not worry? How does a Christian avoid worry when faced with the fact that the majority of the people passed on a daily basis are on a highway to hell; that he or she may lose their job tomorrow or fail to find a job before they lose their house or apartment; that he or she might die tonight from starvation or tomorrow afternoon from execution (for not being a Christian but for no more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time)?

------- Ж Trusting God Ж
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.” King Solomon (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Proverbs 3:5-7
~
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation." Isaiah (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Isaiah 12:2
~
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])— Isaiah 26:3-4
~
“Thus says the LORD: ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD…Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.’” Jeremiah (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])— Jeremiah 17:5; 7-8

------- Ж Faith That Lives [is] Faith That Trusts [is] Faith That Works Ж
Trust God. Trust Jesus.
~
Trust Jesus for what?
~
His promises.
~
What promises?
~
His promise to send the Holy Spirit.
~
Why?
~
It is the Holy Spirit that saves us by grace through the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control that He works in us to reveal Christ’s blood over us for God’s good pleasure. The Holy Spirit is the confession of our hope promised to us by Jesus Christ.
~
------- Ж Thus, Faith Holds Fast… Ж
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” author?(Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—Hebrews 10:23
~
Jesus is trustworthy. Do not worry. Trust.
~
“For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” Paul (Jesus [God {Holy Spirit}])—II Corinthians 4:17-18
~
May we fail in every way to worry in light of the overwhelming trust we accept through prayer from the Holy Spirit’s presence in our hearts. Amen.
