" Anxiety / Worry "

Oh it's you, and as always it's wonderful just
knowing that you cared enough to stop by again.
It's before 11 am and the sun is shining brightly.
Today we are discussing " ANXIETY ". So strap in
and let's go.

Carrying your worries, stresses, and daily struggles
by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully
with your life. Worrying is a waste of time, turn your
worries into prayers, let God's peace guard your heart
against anxiety.

Jesus commands us not to worry: " Don't worry
about anything, but in everything, through
prayer and petition with Thanksgiving,let your
requests be made known to God" (Phil 4:6).
Only faith can free us from the anxiety caused by greed
and covetousness. Ask God to help you focus your mind
on the Father instead of what's causing you distress. To
worry is pointless because it can't fill any of our needs.
To become angry and distressed are two very destructive
emotions. They reveal the absence of faith that God loves
us and is in control. We should not worry; instead, we
should trust in God, giving ourselves to him for his use and
safekeeping. To worry is half-witted because the creator of
the universe loves us and knows what we need. He promises
to meet all our real needs, but not necessarily all our desires.

When you dwell on your problems, you will become anxious
and angry. If you concentrate on God and his goodness, you will
find peace. where do you focus your attention? Lack of trust in
God always prevents us from receiving his best.

Until Next Time...
