Proverbs 16:9

New Catholic Bible

⁹ A man may plan his own course,
    but the Lord makes his steps secure.^[a]

Proverbs 16:3-5

New King James Version

³ Commit^[a] your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.

⁴ The Lord has made all for Himself,
Yes, even the wicked for the day of ^[b]doom.

⁵ Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Though they join ^[c]forces, none will go unpunished.

The end all be all is this:

Let’s start talking to God like we know that first and foremost we belong to Him.

Step 1:

Genesis 1:27

New International Version

²⁷ So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

Step 2:

Let’s continue to talk to God knowing we were sent here to change the world.

John 14:12-14

The Answered Prayer

¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ^[c]ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Step 3: Let’s continue to talk to God knowing that we were sent here for Him.

Matthew 6:25-34

New International Version

Do Not Worry

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^[a]?

²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

in Jesus’ name. Amen.
