Eagerness is part of the human condition but we must understand that when it is too intense it becomes a source of great suffering that makes us feel nervous, irritated, restless, distracted, causes us physical problems and panics.
Without realizing it by immersing ourselves in anxiety we are turning away from God because our mind is divided in two, as many worries as what we are going to eat, drink and cover ourselves as well as what the future holds for us. That is why we must control it and separate it from our life, there are reasons not to worry, Jesus offers them in his word.
Matthew 6: 25-34
25 Therefore I say to you: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, what you have to wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the sky, which do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than them?
27 And who of you can, however much he cares, add one cubit to his stature?
28 And for the garment, why do you worry? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not work or spin;
29 But I tell you, not even Solomon with all his glory dressed himself as one of them.
30 And if the grass of the field that is today, and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, God clothes it like this, will he not do much more to you, you men of little faith?
31 Do not worry, then, saying, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or what shall we wear?
32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; but your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its eagerness. Sufficient to each day its own evil.
Let's think about a moment where our life comes from and we will immediately realize that it comes from God, so if God has given us the life that is the greatest gift, will He not also give you the food and drink to sustain life ?; I'm sure it will be like that. So in no way should the needs of the day to day be a source of anguish because if it turns out to be that way we are really saying, There is no God that can handle my problems, take care of my life and my future.
Can you survive without your favorite food? Or can you survive without your life? Do you prefer to have your life? or Do you prefer to have your favorite food?
Now Do you prefer to have your body? Or do you prefer to have a beautiful suit? Can you live without your suit? Or can you survive without your body? My answer would be that without life I could not consume any food and without body I would not have to put on, so I am sure that if God has given me the body and life even considers me more important than the birds and lilies of the field, He will never stop giving me food and clothing, he will always take care of me. Of course we must keep in mind that we have to work, make money, save for the future and make plans for tomorrow, what we should not do is to worry that we do not have enough or that we still have much more to gain to acquire material things with absurd vanities.
So who controls the future, is only God and the solution to the anguish is him.
1 Peter 5: 7
throwing all your anxiety on him, because he takes care of you.
Why do you worry? Cast all your anxiety on God through prayer, to make known our requests.
Philippians 4: 6
Be anxious for nothing, but let your requests be known before God in all prayer and petition, with thanksgiving.
Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us strength to face the day to day.
Philippians 4: 13
I can do everything in Christ who strengthens me.
He never forsakes.
Deuteronomy 31: 6
Be strong and courageous; Do not be afraid, nor be afraid of them, for Jehovah your God is the one who goes with you; He will not leave you, nor forsake you.
God is our helper.
Hebrews 13: 5-6
5 Let your habits be without greed, content with what you have now; because he said: I will not forsake you, nor will I leave you;
6 so we can confidently say:
The Lord is my helper; I will not fear
What can man do to me?
Let's seek the things of the kingdom of God to increase the faith and in this way to separate the anguish in our life, trusting that whatever we ask for in prayer we will receive it.
Matthew 21: 22
And everything you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.
Psalm 37:4-5
4 Deléitate also in Jehovah,
And he will grant you the requests of your heart.
5 Commend your way to Jehovah,
And trust him; and he will do.
