Worry is a wired-in proclivity of carnal human nature, an entity that the prince and power of the air has programmed in a perpetual state of discontent and distrust in God's purposes for us. Pessimism and stress can and will kill us over time. Our Lord wants us to have abundant life both in our current physical lives and in our future spiritual lives. If we want abundant life, we are obligated to stop worrying, even though the world is collapsing around us. Much of the Beatitudes focuses on maintaining a positive frame of mind. Worrying about clothing, food, and shelter is futile because God is aware of our needs and has demonstrated that He feeds and clothes the entirety of creation, including the entire flora and fauna of the earth, providing them all sun, rain, dirt, seasonal changes, symbiotic processes, and balancing meteorology processes—all examples of common grace, referring to God's providence. If we focus more on physical needs and wants, fearing that God will not provide, we show our pitiful, shallow faith. Understanding there is a yawning chasm over earthly and heavenly things, we must choose permanent goals rather than worldly dying goals. As we focus on spiritual goals, we must realize, along with our father Abraham, that faith requires action and commitment. Our faith is weak because we refuse to act upon it; faith without works is stone dead. We will not have worries if we are fully engaged in our calling.
