Matthew 6:33 – Seek First His Kingdom and Righteousness.

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. 2 Fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of faith who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. 17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Change your mind About Worry! Philippians 4:4-8

From a Position of Rejoicing!

“Anxious for Nothing” – Matthew 6:25-34

Worry Will Not Add Anything to Your Life!
Quit Seeking the Things the World Seeks!
Seek First His Kingdom and His Righteousness!
