Worry

Matthew 6:8b, 31-34
"...for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow:  for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

Though our Father already knows what our needs are before we even come to Him in prayer, this does not mean that we can exclude prayer from our lives. Part of our everyday walk with the LORD is communicating with Him our praises, as well as our worries and fears, as a testament to our faith that He will work everyhing together for good. Faith is having total confidence in God's provision, whether that provision concerns food, drink, clothing, academics, career choices, or other specific individual or family needs. When our focus is on our daily walk with the LORD and drawing closer to Him, He takes notice and provides the needed materials. When our focus is on the material instead of the LORD, we cannot expect our Father to provide all our needs. Putting our faith in God for handling all our troubles allows us to take one day at a time, not worrying how everything will work out in the end.
