An Antidote For Worry

Worry—it’s what we do. No matter how brave a face we put on in certain situations, worry still nags at our hearts.

This issue of worry is mentioned numerous places in the Bible, so obviously it is important to God. And for good reason. Worry not only saps us of passion and energy, but it also drains us dry of our hope and trust in the God who created us.

The apostle Paul reminds us to stop and thank God for all He has done for us. If we remember what God has already done for us, we can hold on to the assurance that He will continue to provide and make a way through the uncertainty of tomorrow. It’s lying back in the strong arms of God and basking in the peace that time with Him provides.

God will relieve you of worry if you ask Him. It doesn’t always mean that instead of worry He will give you success or the outcome you think is best. What He does promise to give seems unfathomable to the world: peace.

His Promises

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
