God gives us different gifts.

6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[1] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[2] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
1 Corinthians 7:7
7 I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.
1 Peter 4:10
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
We should joyfully serve the Lord and others with the gifts he has blessed us with.

Being anxious and worrying about the future
