Listen "Reflection: Anxiety Divides Our Minds"
Episode Synopsis
"It’s plain that Jesus wants us to understand how much we matter to God. But another aspect to his command is just as important. Our anxiety doesn’t change anything except our state of mind. In Luke 12:25, Jesus says, 'And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?'
"Jesus goes on to say, “If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?” As small a thing as what? Adding an hour to my life is a small thing? To him, it is! To me, this is the heart of the command. Jesus isn’t suggesting that we would be better off to stop worrying. He is not only telling us how absolutely futile worrying is, he is also telling us how utterly and completely he is in control."
