WORRY

While in much prayer this week, I have been lead to write about worry. So often we worry about things out of our control. Here is some scripture on the matter of worry.

(Matthew 6:34 NKJV): "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." 

(Philippians 4:6 NKJV) "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard you hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

(John 14:27 NKJV) "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"

Often we worry because we don't know the outcome of a situation. We can even find ourselves living in the past, or living in the future. Living in the past, blaming the past for how we feel today. Living in the future, and not appreciating our blessings today, often because we have not gotten the "happily ever after" we've been chasing.  The real blessing is God, and Jesus. When we find ourselves consumed in worry we must lift all of our worry to the Lord. He is the ONLY one who knows everything that's happened in our life, is happening, and will happen. God is our guide.

One of my favorite prayers is the Serenity Prayer. Say it often in everything you do.
