The Reason I Worry Is: I Don’t Trust God!  

2. THE REALITY OF WORRY.

     worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what
     you will wear.’” Luke 12:22

Worrying Is Sinful.

             worry…” Luke 12:22b

Worrying Is Unfaithful.
            “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is
             here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much
             more will he clothe you—you of little faith!” Luke 12:28

Worrying Is Unfruitful.
            “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?
             Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry
             about the rest?” Luke 12:25-26
