Have you ever worried about something that didn’t end up coming true? What was that fear? How often do we worry about things that never come true? // 2. Does “do not worry” mean that we don’t need to work or plan in life? Is there a healthy and unhealthy way to be concerned about something? Read the following verses and talk about working, planning, and having good concerns that don’t turn into worry: Proverbs 6:6-11, Genesis 41:46-49, 53-57, 2 Corinthians 11:28. How can we tell when a hope, plan, or concern turns into worry? // 3. Read Philippians 4:6-7. What should we do when we worry? How does “petition/supplication” and “thanksgiving” help chase our worries away? What does God promise to give us if we take our worries to Him in prayer? // 4. Read Matthew 6:32. What does it mean when Jesus says that “Gentiles eagerly seek these things?” How is worry like living without God in our lives? How does the rest of v.32 help us not fall into the trap of worrying like the rest of our world?
