Luke
  
22Then He said to His disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about you life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.23Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.24Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?"


Your heavenly Father loves you. His being is the guarantee of his providence, having given his Son for you and written your name in the Book of Life. He knows your weakness and unprofitableness, and has sent you his Spirit to strengthen your faith. Do you doubt any longer the faithfulness of God’s love for you?
Thank your heavenly Father for his faithful care, and prove this gratitude by overcoming all your worries. Many people stare at the ghost of unemployment, disease, and death with profound fear. But Christ commands you not to worry, for the Father is present with you. Feel refreshed and free as the flying ravens, which receive God’s grace everyday in spite of their black color. You have become white and pure in Christ’s blood, so believe in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, even in your profession, school, and family. Do not forget to give thanks to your heavenly Father for your life, bodily strength, and human mind. Commit your way to the Lord, trusting him joyfully, and you will live in safety and providence.
