What this means, and why it matters to a father

Jesus says this at the end of a long passage on worry — one of the most human passages in all of the Gospels, addressed to people anxious about food, clothing, the future. His final instruction is striking in its realism: he does not say tomorrow will be easy.

There is more to this one. The full context — the events behind the words, what the author was living through, and how it applies to the specific situations of fatherhood — is in the app under Deeper Understanding.
