Do Not Worry About Your Life

Apr 30, 2023    Cody Zimmerman

We continue our series on the Commands of Christ by looking at Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25: “Do not be anxious about your life.” Cody walks us through three central questions: What is anxiety? Why does Jesus command us not to worry? And how do we actually overcome it?

This message doesn’t shy away from the real struggles of worry, fear, and mental health—including a frank discussion of anxiety medication and the stigma that sometimes surrounds it in Christian communities. We are invited to see worry not as a lack of care, but as a spiritual battle that can subtly pull our focus away from Christ.

Cody offers practical and biblical tools for dealing with anxiety: rooted community, spiritual disciplines, vulnerability, and ultimately the presence of Jesus Himself. We are reminded that peace doesn’t come from having control over tomorrow—but from knowing that Jesus is enough for us.
