It's funny how we focus on the silliest things sometimes. I'm guilty of worrying more about what kind of drink I'll get at Sonic on my next Sonic run than what I can do for God that particular day. I'm forever focused on the most paltry things in life, like whether or not I'll make it home in time to catch the latest episode of Psych, or what this person thought of my shirt or what that person thought of my shoes. Sometimes I can trick myself into thinking that some things (like midterms or next month's budget) are actually worth the energy and time I waste when I worry over them. Really, if we focus more on God and less on the little things (and yes, the "big" things), God will provide for us in the most amazing ways.
"For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." -2 Corinthians 4:17, 18
"So don't worry about these things... These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all you needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously and He will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." -Matthew 6:31-34
