Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

— Jesus, Matthew 6:31-34 NASB1995

I repeat His words so frequently these days and each time I say them, a great sense of relief even overcomes me! His truth is ALWAYS my help. Thank you for posting this one on this C&C post as it is possibly the weightiest one we've read in a long time! I am SO thankful we do not have to worry about tomorrow!

I just hope that whatever happens, it's swift and painless so we can leave this earth to a better place.

Plan on hanging around for a while and making TPTB, when facing a tribunal, worry about "it" being swift and painless.

Keep resisting. Keep telling people about all the lies they've fed us. The more people we can awaken to the horrors surrounding us caused by these malicious actors, the better our chances in turning the tables on these bleepers.

Tucker Carlson let go from fox with immediate effect. Trying to shut down our truth rollers here in the UK. Just whittling away and it is real. Continue talking to family and friends. Let them know the truth. It is uncomfortable but badly needed.

CNN, not to be outdone by rival Fox, just axed the intolerable and sanctimonious Don Lemon.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated is hiring as he is good at making up stories so he’d fit right in.

Good riddance. You described him perfectly. Was there a reason and wonder what dirty hole he will pop out of next?

Yes, absolutely. Speak truth. Some will reject it, but some others will listen and be made aware of the lies flooding our world.

My personal effort in this regard is memes, which I collect here most days:

Memes have the advantages that they make the point quickly, often before defense mechanisms kick in, and they are usually funny, which is also disarming. Please share them, sending people either the link above, or individual memes that you find funny and on-point.

I have my doubts about it being swift or painless. His suffering was neither of those. The greatest trials are usually trials by fire, and I have had a few. But at the end I could truly say that while it truly was the worst of times’, I look back and am so thankful that He walked with me through those fires.

The testimony, in the end, was worth every step.

💬 So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ~~Matthew 6:34

🗨 The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. ~~Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It
