Thought for the week:​​

​

Best not worry. Matthew 6 25-end

 

Anxiety seems to be at epidemic levels in society. Climate chaos, cost of living, lack

of housing, social media, fear of missing out, wars violence and AI. All these and

more add to our sense of unease, dissonance and displacement.

Jesus challenges in the gospel today not to worry. Frenzied activity is a symptom of

this type of worry. Jesus encourages us to live fully in the moment. Worrying about

tomorrow is a dead-end, says Jesus, ‘can any of you, by worrying add a single hour to

the span of your life?’ worrying about tomorrow kills today. Jesus is concerned

about our priorities. God is to come first in our lives and not crowded out by our

material concerns and worries. This is a lesson in Faith… trust God….
