I think we all want to enjoy our life, having food and shelter and a degree of health. In Christ we can enjoy life and in him we have our being. In our flesh nature we worry about things. I recently found that my recurring cough was the result of congestive heart failure. We murmur and complain thinking of the worst possible things that await us. No, we are not to do that if we trust in God, in Jesus Christ His Son. All is well.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Do you have the Spirit of God to comfort, to help you and to give you peace? We live by faith in Jesus and rejoice in the knowledge that Christ loves us.
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
A young friend likes to quote from Proverbs,
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Do you have a problem? God has this. Trust in the LORD with all your heart. All things are under His authority.
