NO WORRIES

By: Katim Brown

So, let’s talk about worry. I think of worry as persistent negative thoughts about a future outcome. This persistent thought then develops into repetitive thoughts in our mind that cause us to feel, anxious, stressed out and sad. I know when I have worried about things, I subconsciously believed that somehow, I was fixing the problem. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth because worry can not only cause us mental strain, but it can tax us physically and even create health problems and diseases.

What does the bible say about Worry?

Matthew 6:25

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

Matthew 6:34

“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Luke 12:25

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?”

So what can we DO about worry?

PRAY

1. Philippians 4:6-7 -“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
2. Psalm 46:10 –“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
3. Psalm 121:1-2 -“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

WATCH OUR THOUGHTS

We should be mindful of the thoughts that we entertain.

Romans 12:2–“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

John 14:27 -Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Romans 8:6 –The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.

Trust IN THE LORD

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Psalms 56:3

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.“
