Philippians 4:6-7
I absolutely love today's promise! While it might sound hard, it’s really not. You see, worry is not good for us. Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair expecting to move forward. All you are doing is rocking back & forth. I have known a few worry warts in my life, have you? Thankfully, that didn't pass down to me! I’m not going to lie, I might have my moments, but I don't stay there.
Now, here's one great way to STOP worry in its tracks. Turn those worries into prayers. Switch it. Reverse it. It’s not healthy to worry because when you do, you are focusing on the problem and not the Problem Solver. NO amount of worry will EVER fix a problem. NONE! But God can! Tell Him what’s happening and let Him go to work.
When you do this, you will have peace. Not just any peace, but God’s peace which exceeds our understanding. (Not to mention, peace is a fruit of the Spirit, so we can tap into that each time we need it.) It’s not God’s will for us to live worried & afraid. We are children of the MOST HIGH KING! We have too many amazing things at our fingertips tips for us to sit down in worry and let it over take us! If you are struggling with worry, and can't really break it, ask someone to pray with and for you. Tell them what you are worrying about and let them help!
