Over half of the world's population struggles with chronic anxiety. I believe God knows that we are inclined to be fearful. That's why there are hundreds of verses in scripture that tell us "Do not be afraid". In Matthew 6 , Jesus is speaking, and it's as if He knows how fragile we can be in our anxiety. He uses the kindest of languages and the gentlest of images when He says " Look at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field and see how they are provided for and cared for, and aren't you worth so much more than birds and flowers".
Even the sparrow knows.
