Luke 22:25-26 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
Jesus spoke more than once and more than one way about this business of anxiety and worry. Fear and anxiety seem to be incompatible with trust. Is God trustworthy or not? I'm not talking about Jesus being the instant solution to every problem, but rather the only solution to the final problem. He is a friend and an partner all along the way but again not by making all issues dissolve before our eyes. I have grown so much by trusting God in the difficulties of life. They did not all turn out the way I might have wanted, but I knew Jesus was with me at every turn, and that he always seeks my good.
My mother's side of my family has a pretty good record of longevity. My mom is 90 and her sister 93 and their mother close to the same. I have good health and I don't know if I will live as long as they have but even if I do it is an instant in eternity. I enjoy this life of mine so I would never say I want to die now. I also know God has a purpose for my life and he will for as many days as I live. My eternity is in his hands and I need not be anxious about anything else.
