Episode 9- Fasting and Worry

from The Upper Room Podcast · host The Upper Room Podcast

In this episode, we explore Matthew 6:16–34, where Jesus addresses some of the deepest struggles of the human heart—seeking approval, chasing security, and battling anxiety. From fasting in secret to storing up treasures in heaven, this passage calls us to shift our focus from outward appearances and earthly possessions to a life fully centered on God.We unpack what it truly means to fast with the right motives, to fix our eyes on eternal values rather than temporary wealth, and to trust God as our ultimate provider. Jesus’ words challenge us with a powerful truth: where our treasure is, there our heart will be also.As we close, we lean into one of the most comforting and convicting teachings in Scripture—“Do not worry about your life.” In a world filled with uncertainty, Jesus invites us to seek first the Kingdom of God and trust that everything we need will be provided.Tune in as we discover how to live with freedom from anxiety, confidence in God’s care, and a heart fully devoted to what truly matters.
