The more important something is to you, the more you will worry about it. This may be relationships, jobs, money, cars, etc. Now, ask yourself the question, will this matter in five years? Probably not.
What does the Bible say about worrying and anxiety?
Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." NIV
Luke 12:25 "And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?"
Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden on the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved."
1 Peter 5:7 "...casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."
Hebrews 13:6 "So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
WORRY CHALLENGE
For the next 7 days, every time you worry or have anxiety, PRAY. Talk to God continuously and "cast all your anxieties on Him".
Why worry when you can pray?
Thank you for blessing so many with such powerful words! =)
