Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow

JESUS ON WORRY (MATTHEW 6)

27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 31 So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” …. your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
