27 Can any of you add one moment to his life span[a] by worrying? (Matthew 6:27 CSB)
Worry and anxiety are some of the most common feelings people experience. Whether it be in job situations, health issues, relationships or whatever these twin feelings seem to be ever-present.
Now, if we think back what have they afforded us? Did they help or hinder the situation? Were either responsible for making the situation better? Did either provide a positive element to what was happening?
No. As the scripture says, how can worry ad even a single moment to our lives?
It may be a natural outcome of a situation we are in, but if we truly consider their worth we will find that there is none.
