A young man announces to his wife and four children, “I’m leaving.” Then goes outside, sits down by a tree, puts the barrel to his temple, and pulls the trigger. Why? Because he was driven by worry. Worry over his unemployment, his crumbling marriage, and the apparent hopelessness of his situation. [A sermon by Dr. Arnold Lastinger. Used with permission]

People were often worried and anxious about how to meet these needs. Then one day Jesus told them not to worry. He placed three reasons before them.
