Hello, my friends. Welcome to today's podcast. We are unfortunately living in an epidemic of anxiety and depression.

And yet the Bible has some real answers from Jesus himself. So listen in and let's find out what Jesus says about anxiety.

Listen to welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly. We believe the Bible is true

and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day. If today's conversation is a help to you,

take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend. Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode.

Hey friends, welcome back to today's episode. We're in Matthew chapter six, as most of you know.

And I think we're going to finish the chapter today. At least we're going to make a good stab at it.

But we're in verse number 25. And I was just reading earlier today, actually,

about the prevalence of anxiety and depression, even among our youth. And I've got to imagine

that so much of that has to do with the comparison game and social media and

peer pressure and all of what goes along with it. I have to imagine, I'm not the expert,

but I'm here to say that I see it. I see it often. And even maybe you today listening to this

podcast or watching it would say, you know, I struggle.

I struggle with anxiety in my life and I don't know what to do with it. I don't know why it comes

and it comes in waves and I find myself staying up late at night. You know, what do I do? And I'm not

here to say that today's passage is the cure-all for every

kind of anxiety, but I am here to say that this is some of the most important truth that

you'll ever hear when it comes to just trusting the Lord, casting your care upon him,

understanding his control and his provision and his presence in your life. So I just want you to listen extra carefully today to really good sound

biblical advice from Jesus about anxiety. Look at verse number 25 where the Bible says,

therefore, I say unto you, take no thought for your life. Now, that doesn't mean never

think about the stuff you're going to do or think about your life. It's just an old English way
