LUKE 10:41 Jesus answered her, Martha, Martha! You are occupied with anxious and troubled thoughts about many things!

LUKE 12:25 Why waste a moment worrying about wanting to be just a little taller than what you are!
26 Young people growing up, sometimes wish they could fast-forward the process! Relax and enjoy the moment! No amount of anxiety can create time!
27 Observe how effortlessly wildflowers grow; they don’t sweat or spin. Now, imagine the extravagant wardrobe of Solomon and his exquisite collection of brand-name clothes! I tell you, his most favorite robe would pale by comparison to any of these flowers.

2 COR 4:8 We often feel completely hemmed in on every side but our inner space remains unrestricted; when there seems to be no way out, we escape within!
9 At times we are persecuted to the extreme but we are never abandoned. We are knocked down but not knocked out.
10 Wherever we go, whatever we encounter in our bodies, we bear witness within us of the fact that Jesus died our death; in this same body, we now exhibit his life. The fact that we co-died in his death confirms that we now co-live in his resurrection!
11 Our day-to-day experience continues to exhibit that even in the face of death, our association with the death Jesus already died remains the inspiration of his life made so clearly visible within us. This is in such contrast to the circumstances that we are often faced with. MIRROR
