Are Christians Really Followers of Christ

When you listen to our prayers on Sunday you immediately are aware the prayers are for worldly expectation.
 

Paul wrote in Romans 8:28  

    And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 

 

Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-34  

    Do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'  For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

    "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

 

Paul wrote in Philippians 4:6-7  

    … Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

Jesus said in Matthew 26:42

    "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." 

 

Why are we so hesitant to accept what happens…? Why do we think we have a better solution?

 

Are Christians really following Christ. I doubt it.
