The REAL WORLD - Part 1

Matthew 6:24-26

Philippians 4:6-7

“No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?” Matthew 6:24-25 (CSB)

The Antidote to Anxiety  (Phil 4:6-7)

1.  Worry About Nothing.

“Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?” Matthew 6:26 (CSB)

      Principle: God cares for the birds but He cares for you MORE.

2.  Pray About Everything.

“…but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6b (CSB)
