Why Worry?

Why Worry…It solves Nothing!!

Did you know that “Do Not Worry” is in the Bible 365 times?!!  That is a command for each day!!  Did you know that “Worry”, is in a sense taking matters into your own hands and telling God you don’t trust Him!  “Worry” does not add a single day to your life and most definitely DOES NOT solve problems!! In fact it has been proven that worry and anxiety weighs down the heart, making one physically & emotionally ill!!  Worry and fretting is also an open invitation to the enemy to…come on in!

The Word of God gives very clear instructions how we are to face problems of life…“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”. (1 Peter 5:7)  I find that when anxiety is great within me, the Lord’s consolation brings me much peace of mind & His joy replaces my anxiety! Thus, I am able to begin looking at my situation in a more rational way.

Just remember…The LORD loves you and HE promises that HE will sustain you! HE also promises that HE will never let the Righteous be shaken. (Psalm 55:22)  So, don’t just assume that you have all the answers, but be quick to run to God …”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”. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

So Today, if you are carrying a heavy load, I encourage you to listen to this beautiful song below and  instead of wasting time worrying, spend some time laying all your cares at the feet of Jesus and begin thanking Him for how He is working in your midst.  As you begin to unload your burdens, you will be amazed how sweet peace comes flooding your soul.  Suddenly you will find a new understanding as you begin viewing your situation in a fresh new light through the eyes & heart of God!

Take a look at the birds of 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??? (Matthew 6:26)
