In Matthew 6:25-27, Jesus said, "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 not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds if the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Why do we worry when we have the promises of God that He will take care of us? Worrying can cause damage to your health and well-being, disrupt your ability to focus or be productive, negatively impact the way you treat others, and it basically reduces your ability to trust in God. Each one of us have things that we are concerned about, yet we don't need to let it consume our thoughts to become worry. Try this...when you begin to worry...stop and begin praying...then trust God!
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Praying for His peace and blessings to you,
Annette
Hi Annette. I like your blog, short and to the point! This week alone I have been trying to train myself not to worry, especially about things I can do nothing about. Thanks for the encouragement. God bless, TKT
