Don’t Worry

Jesus said, “Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? You can dedicated a decade of anxious thoughts to the brevity of life and not extend it by one minute. Worry accomplishes nothing.”
Jesus doesn’t condemn legitimate concern for responsibilities. It’s the continuous mind-set of worry that dismisses God’s presence. It subtracts God from the future, faces uncertainties with no faith, and tallies up the challenges of the day without entering God into the equation.
Jesus said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours!”
Let God be enough!

in Matthew 6:34, “So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Face challenges in stages. You can’t control your temper forever, but you can control it for the next hour.
Remember, you last the long race by running the short ones!Some of us have postgraduate degrees from the University of Anxiety. We got to sleep worried that we won’t wake up. We wake up worried that we didn’t sleep. We worry that someone will discover that lettuce was fattening all along.

Wouldn’t you love to stop worrying? Could you use a strong shelter from life’s harsh elements? God offers you just that. The possibility of a worry-free life. Not just less worry–but no worry.

Philippians 4:7 says “His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Worry is an option, not an assignment. Be quick to pray. Rather than worry about anything, Scripture says, “pray about everything.” Focus less on the problem ahead and more on the victories behind. In everything–let your requests be made known to God!

Do your part, and God will do his.
