Don't worry.
Recently I saw a
picture on social media that claims telling someone not to worry- doesn't stop
a single person from worrying. Yet we are told not to worry by God. When God
tells us not to worry are we to keep worrying regardless? Are we to rely upon
our lack of faith, hold fast to man's interpretation of life? If we are
worriers and believe me I know I am one, does encouragement to worry help me?
If I try to worry more and more because nothing can stop my worrying, how is
that good? Rather isn't it much better if I seek a way not to worry? If I seek
to follow God's will for me, isn't that my best chance, my best opportunity to
not worry?
Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6,7
Worry- pray.
Worry-supplicate.
Worry-thanksgiving.
Worry-requesting.
All to God.
We will worry…but
when we worry we are told what to do.
Mat 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the
life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mat 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather
into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than
they?
Mat 6:27 Which
of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mat 6:28 And
why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mat 6:29 And
yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.
Mat 6:30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to
morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little
faith?
Mat 6:31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
