“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?”
— Matthew 6:27 NASB1995
⏱ Worry Doesn’t Work
Jesus asks a rhetorical question to make a deep point: worry doesn’t lengthen life—it steals from it. It cannot add anything good. Instead of extending our lives, worry drains our peace, joy, and strength.
Kingdom living means surrendering worry because we know the One who holds time in His hands.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
Early Christians often faced daily uncertainty, yet they were known for their calm confidence in God’s sovereignty. Their hope was not in control, but in Christ.
💭 Reflect
- What has worry taken from me?
- What would it look like to replace worry with worship?
✨ Prayer
Father, I confess that worry doesn’t help. You are in control of every hour. Help me live in that peace today. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
