Stop Your Worrying!

So I am at a camp called Windermere with my friends Kelsey, Emily, and Chelsea to lead worship for a children's camp for a few days.
Tonight was a very unique night for me. I don't really know how to explain it, but I will try the best I can.

Tonight as we led worship I was very distracted and worried about playing the right chords and trying not to mess up. Because of all of that worrying, I kinda messed up all over the place. Other people might not have noticed, but I did and because of that, my worship to God didn't really feel genuine or real. It felt like I was there to entertain the kids and keep their attention.
The passage that was read tonight during the session was Matthew 6:25-34 which says,
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."


When the camp pastor talked about this passage it broke me because I worry so much about certain things that I don't really need to worry about. I worry about how my future is going to turn out, when I will marry, the unknown future, whether or not music is what God wants for me in the future...the list goes on and on.

After the session was over, recreation was taking place, but I stayed in the conference room and just sat there and played my guitar and sang my heart out to God. As I was singing I felt my heart breaking more and more, and I started to sing my lifesong "None But Jesus" and I couldn't even finish that song because I cried. The line that I stopped on "In the chaos, in confusion I know You're Sovereign still".

If I know that He is still Sovereign, then why in the world do I worry about things so much?? God values me more than a bird! We all should rest in the fact that God values us so much and that He doesn't leave us. No one and no thing can pluck us out of His hand. God knows what will happen tomorrow and He has it all taken care of.
So....NO WORRIES!!!
