The Stumbling Block of Worry
by lareina morgan
Worry is defined as giving way to anxiety or unease; allowing one's mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. Worry has a way of incapacitating your will and your resolve, so that you allow your fears, weaknesses, and sorrows to overcome your sense of peace and security.
The circumstances of life can produce fear, and we all have felt some anxiety when faced with a problem; fears can be faced and dwelt with as a child of God with believing in the power of God, His Grace and Mercy, and allowing Him to deal with the issue. Your faith determines God's response, for without faith, you cannot not believe in miracles or in the providence of God.
Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?" Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Dear God, My mind can hardly fathom the depth of your love for me. So when my anxious heart feels suffocated with the mounds of worry this life can bring, I only know to come to you. You who knows every hair on my head. You who flung stars into space. You who plans every step I take. When my worry mounds and builds, escalating to numbers that exceed my expectations, You ask me to relinquish my cares to Your hand. The hand that created the hair on my head. The hand that created the starry night sky. The hand that holds my future. Would you give me the courage to trust You wholly? Would you give me Your peace that calms all fears? For that is when I am rejuvenated, From pitiful worrier To prayer warrior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
