I think it is important to know that the Lord is in control of our circumstances because as human beings we tend to worry about many life circumstances. God is the Creator of all things in heaven and earth and everything is in His control so worrying is needless. His word says to trust Him because He cares for you and will supply all your needs (food, shelter, clothing) and sometimes He is gracious enough to supply some of your wants if they fall in line with His will for your benefit. God takes care of every part of His creation. He is faithful to keep His word or promise, so we need not worry. Worrying only indicates that we do not trust Him to do what He said He would do.

It is important to know that the Lord is in control because He is good, loving, and wise. He knows what I need better than i ever could.

God is in control helps us stop worrying, like Jesus said in Matthew
6:25-34. - Builds Trust: We can
trust that He will use every situation for good (Romans 8:28). - Brings Contentment:
If we trust God to meet our needs, we can be satisfied with what we have. - Changes Perspective:
Challenges become opportunities for God to shape us or work out His plans.

Because He is LORD over all. He created everything and all is His. He has all power, all wisdom and He is everywhere.

I believe it is impriotant to know that to realise that he is omnipresent and that we do not need to worry and be our own saviours. By knowing that He is in control it encourages to trust Him in every circumstance including financial ones. Also knowing that He is in control lets us not to focus on food, clothes , or shelter but rather on seeking His kingdom with all our heart and strength.
