"So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each is its own trouble." - Matthew 6:34
I have to admit I am so guilty of over worrying! I think it drives my husband crazy at times. I worry about every little thing, even things that don't even matter. Thankfully, I am married to a man who reminds me that God is in control and prays with me about everything.
There is so much in life we can be anxious of, but by worrying about it we only magnify the problem. We get ourselves in a state where we cannot think clearly or rationally about it. We cannot possibly be effective in prayer, and in working out a solution to it if we are caught up in 'worry'.
What of tomorrow? Tomorrow hasn't come; today is what we need to concern ourselves with.
When we start to get anxious of the things that may or may not happen, the only thing we can do is give it over in prayer. There we can find God's peace in place of our worry.
Don't let worry take root for it is all consuming. You cannot have 'faith' if you are worried all the time. Take your eyes off the 'what ifs' and place them on Jesus. It doesn't matter how bad our situation is, you can walk through it with your eyes on Jesus. We don't have to live in anxiety of our 'tomorrows'.
So cast your worries on the Lord, trust Him!
With Love,
"B"
