Why worry? TRUST GOD!
Matthew 6:24-25, 33 (NASB)
24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and wealth.
25 "For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as
to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to
what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothing?
....
33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these
things will be added to you."
+++++++++++++++++
For followers of Jesus Christ, God has promised to provide ALL our
NEEDS. Most of the time our WANTS surpass our NEEDS!
God does grace us with some of our WANTS, but some of them are not
in His plans!
So if God has promised to provide our NEEDS, why should we worry
when we don't see it happening. He does provide in a timely basis!
David said in his latter years that he had not seen God's people
going without. (Psalm 37)
So, TRUST GOD and see Him at work!

4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will
not face away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time.
