DAILY INSPIRATION
“The WORRY Crusher”
There is obviously nothing wrong with caring about something specific, or being tremendously concerned about someone in particular; but God never wants us to worry. Why? Because worry can make you sweat when it’s not even hot. Worry can make you angry with people who haven’t done anything wrong. Worry can cause you to make quick and irrational decisions in the present, that could end up being detrimental to your future. Worry can give you unbalanced stress levels which can lead to serious health problems. Worry is a type of poison that will slowly but significantly harm you and your relationship with other people. Well, if it wasn’t clear before; I hope it is clear now: that, worry is your enemy and NOT your friend. In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus tells us that we shouldn’t worry about material things, food or what’s going to happen next; because our heavenly Father will take care of us. In the same chapter, Jesus lets us know that, “Worrying” doesn’t add any value to our life. Say this with me, “God doesn’t want me to worry, He wants me to trust Him”
Since God is so against worrying and since it is clearly NOT good for us either: Let’s take a moment to talk about how to overcome worry. First, pray and ask God to feed your faith and starve your doubts. Pray and ask God to give you strength, strategy and steadiness. Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 says, “Don’t worry about anything, instead, Pray about everything; tell God what you need and thank Him for all that He has done (NLT). Second, study the Bible to be encouraged, inspired, empowered and reminded of God’s promises. Third, surround yourself with positive and optimistic people who believe even more than you do. Forth, reflect on all the great things that God has done for you before; then trust and believe, that if He did it before, He will do it again. Fifth, do your part; then stand still and let God do the rest. Sixth, remember Romans 8:28 which says, “All things are working together for the good of those who love God and are the called according to His purpose”. Lastly, imagine a peaceful, fun-loving, purposeful and worry-free life: then THANK GOD in advance, for what’s about to happen for you.
