Matthew 6:27, And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

Many medical experts explain the effects of anxiety, according to Healthline, recent reviews that everyone has anxiety from time to time, but chronic anxiety can interfere with your quality of life. While perhaps most recognized for behavioral changes, anxiety can also have serious consequences on your physical health.

These are the possible significant anxiety effects has on your body based on medical expert studies. You may have difficulty concentrating, panic attacks, headaches, irritability, breathing problems, depression, pounding heart, decreased sexual desire, upset stomach, extreme fatigue, increased blood pressure, muscle aches and other pains.

Now I know why Jesus' statement on Matthew 6:27 is worry related to life issues? Because worry cannot help yourself healthy, but it will destroy your body, which is the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Your anxieties cannot add a single hour to enjoy your life to the fullest, but it will cripple you.

So, how we enjoy life to the fullest? The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding. For because of me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life (Proverbs 9:10-11).
