WORRY

WORRY

Matthew 6:25-34

Worry is torture. It can suck the life out of clear thinking. Once you begin to worry, you do not think clearly anymore. Worrying about tomorrow doesn't help anything but rather squeezes the joy out of today. It paralyzes the ability to think positively. 

What do I do? - Prayer!

Prayer should be done, first, to be thankful to God for all the things and people in your life; be thankful that you have come this far and regardless of whatever the situation is right now, there are others out there who are in worse situations. Then, you release your thoughts and worries to God and finally, thank Him once again that you know your situation is a settled matter because you belong to Him. 

After doing this, you notice the presence of the peace of God. Philippians 4:6&7 says it all, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

After making your requests known to God with thanksgiving, the next thing that follows is peace. 

With God on your side, victory over worry is sure and your eyes are opened to the bright sides. While worry only magnifies the problem and makes you feel like there's no way out, the peace of God will make you realize that there's nothing too difficult for God to handle and He's totally in control. We then receive peace and comfort through the Word. 

Psalm 94:19 ----> In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.

Get rid of worry and leave it all to God.
