Worldly anxieties act like loud, incessant static in our minds, choking the Word of God like thorns. Jesus explicitly teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, reminding us of our immense value to the Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. By embracing the mindset of the Lord\u2019s Prayer, we learn to abandon ourselves to Divine Providence, thus clearing our minds of future fears. In addition, the Bible and the Church also offer us other helpful insights to help calm the noise of worry.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;24px||17px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_tabs active_tab_background_color=&#8221;#d43b3e&#8221; active_tab_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Audio Tabs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; tab_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;English&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/e\/7fd31ed1\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;\u5ee3\u6771\u8a71&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<style>.videoWrapper {position: relative;padding-bottom: 56.25%; \/* 16:9 *\/padding-top: 25px;height: 0;}.videoWrapper iframe {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wqhdVJsz6N8?si=oSDzNpqRsjqng2hT\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/e\/845181a1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;\u666e\u901a\u8a71\/\u570b\u8a9e&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<style>.videoWrapper {position: relative;padding-bottom: 56.25%; \/* 16:9 *\/padding-top: 25px;height: 0;}.videoWrapper iframe {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;width: 100%;height: 100%;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uk0dd3m-Of0?si=d1u6zV4YQXZz3jCM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/e\/811e5dd0\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#750059&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fold&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.\u201d (Matthew 13:22)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the past few days, we have spent considerable time reflecting on the problem of \u201cpride\u201d as a thick wall that blocks us from hearing God\u2019s voice.

By embracing the mindset of the Lord\u2019s Prayer, we learn to abandon ourselves to Divine Providence, thus clearing our minds of future fears.
