Why am I so worried?
We all face the opportunity to worry about something, on a daily basis. Our health, finances, family, jobs, the economy. The List is endless. If we let them, our worries can consume our lives!
Worry is so unproductive, it accomplishes nothing except producing anxiety, stress, and fear. Worry will rob you of your JOY, PEACE, and FAITH. It can cloud your mind and often leads to irrational thinking. Worry’s strength and hold on your life only grows if you dwell on your problems. But there is great news - God’s Plan is for you to live a worry-free life! You may be wondering, How is that possible?
Solution: by putting your complete trust and confidence in God and His Word.
God’s Promise: “I will never leave you or forsake you”
The Bible also tells us in Matthew 6:25 not to worry about our lives.
If you were to look through the eyes of your Heavenly Father, you would see that no situation or circumstance is too great for God! Our problems are actually quite small compared to how big our God is! The secret so many people miss is that it’s not enough to tell yourself not to worry about something; you have to replace the worried thoughts with God’s thoughts. When you dwell on the Word, you dwell on His thoughts. Paul refers to this process as “Renewing your Mind” in Romans 12:2. Making it a part of your daily routine to read, meditate, and speak God’s Word will transform your life.
When worry tries to grip you, tell yourself to remain calm and Trust in God, because He is going to take care of you. You are more precious than gold to Him!
