Today, we spend most of our time worrying. We worry about having a nice house and car. We worry about whether we have the right clothes. We worry about our money and if it's safe. We worry about our jobs. We worry about our kids. We worry about putting food on the table. We worry about the things that could possibly happen to us. We worry about losing it all. Our worry is destroying us. We're living lives filled with stress, anxiety, and depression. But God doesn't want us to live these lives of worry. God has provided all we need. So why worry? In this study of Matthew 6, author David H. Patterson uses Scripture and experience to prove to us just why we should never worry and how we can live above worry.

It is possible, through the practice of ascending faith. Don't waste another minute of your life with worry. Discover the key to living above it and renew your faith in God today with the help of Living Above Worry!

Worry is a waste of time and energy. It is among the biggest reasons many goals are left unattained even when the individual has the required skills and talents. According to a study at the New York State University, worry disconnects you from your total strength and connects you to fear of failure extending towards procrastination and absence of inner peace.
