The third thing that Jesus tells us about prayer is ‘do not worry’. Do not be anxious about what you are to eat, what you are to wear. And instead, look at nature. Look at the beauty of nature, the lilies of the field, the birds in the air. Contemplate the beauty of your own nature, you might say. Know yourself. And it is easy to say don’t worry; you know we all like to be re-assured. But that is not what Jesus is saying. At the time of prayer, you have valid worries and anxieties but you can leave them on one side during the time of prayer itself.
Contemplate the beauty of your own nature
