That's absolutely right.

You can never do most of the things in your life in a million years out of your own strength.

In fact, you will fail and crumble if you only lean on yourself.

And I think that's why we tend

to struggle with anxiety a lot of times because we look at things, accomplishments, to-do lists, pressures, confrontations, and things like that.

And we try to put all the pressure on ourself and we create this mountain of issues and this mountain of anxiety.

No wonder you got the weight on your chest.

And Jesus says, man, if you just have a little bit of faith of a mustard seed, you can move a mountain.

If you just have a little bit of faith, the size of a mustard seed,

that God can give you strength through your circumstance, that God can give you strength to deal with the things you got going on today, that God can give you strength to get through today, through first period, through the first hour of your day, through the first 30 minutes of waking up.

I think God will do a lot with your anxiety.

But I think it's so interesting how Jesus phrases anxiety here.

We open up in verse 25.

He says, do not be anxious about your life.

When Jesus says, do not be anxious about your life, he's not scorning you, saying, you can't be anxious.

I hardwired you wrong.

You shouldn't be struggling with that.

Jesus is rather saying, hey, you don't have to be anxious, actually.

I know the amount of hairs on your head.

I know things about you that you've never shared with anyone.
