Worrying vs Caring
from St Mark Sermons Hosted by St Mark Coptic Orthodox Church
Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the difference between worrying and caring through a biblical lens, referencing Matthew 6 and other scriptures. He explains that caring involves thoughtful planning and trusting God’s providence, while worrying leads to anxiety and paralysis. Fr. Matthias emphasizes that caring allows one to live in the present moment with balance, acknowledging personal limitations while relying on God’s grace. He highlights how caring involves active faith, repentance, and focusing on the Kingdom of God, whereas worrying distracts from spiritual growth and leads to fear and despair. By recalling God’s faithfulness in the past, believers can face the future with confidence instead of anxiety. Fr. Matthias encourages viewers to replace worry with care, trusting in God’s mercy during times of uncertainty, and to invest in their relationship with God as the foundation for peace and effective action
