Who carries your worries when they feel too heavy?
Arizona worship leader Madison Earl wrote “Consider the Lilies” for anyone who has lain awake worrying about tomorrow’s problems. It is the third of four original songs she plans to release in 2026. The message for this song is inspired by Matthew 6:26–34. Madison’s hope is that listeners remember that “they don’t have to carry everything on their own.”
Jesus made the same point when He was sitting on a hillside. He told his listeners, “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Then he asked, “Are you not of more value than they?” Ask yourself that same question, “Are you not more valuable than they are?” Madison sings of a God who numbers “the hairs on our head,” and it’s clear that this kind of attention leaves no room for any doubt about your worth.
Jesus finished His questions with a plain instruction: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.” Notice what He left out. He never told us to stop planning or stop caring. He told us to stop worrying about the future.
So try this today. What worry is constantly haunting you? Find a quiet space for prayer, and name that worry out loud, and hand it to Him in one honest sentence. Then get on with the task in front of you, because that is the only thing you can actually do anything about.
Can you trust a Heavenly Father who feeds the sparrows and dresses the wildflowers? Yes, you can! Press play on this song, let the message settle in your mind, and sing along. “He’s always there, so do not fear what tomorrow brings.”

Inspired by Matthew 6:26-34, the new single addresses the universal struggle with worry and the tendency to carry life’s burdens alone.
