A. The causes for a father’s anxiety.
1. The responsibility to "love his wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it" (Ephesians 5:25).
2. The responsibility to "bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4).
3. The responsibility of "providing for his own" (1 Timothy 5:8).
B. The cure.
1. Fathers, our heavenly Father is aware of our needs. "Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things"(Matthew 6:32). "Gentiles" must seek these things because they do not have a heavenly Father.
2. Christian fathers are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness .Then we can trust our heavenly Father to keep his promise to supply our needs. (Matthew 6:33).
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 "that you strive to be quiet, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands...that you may lack nothing".
