Worry

I admit I have been worrying a lot lately about things I have no control over. I know I need to put my trust in God and that he will take care of me. He has always taken care of me and I have been provided for all of my life. God has always provided for me and my family. So I guess its the fact that I have no control over the situation & have no idea what we are going to do except for one thing & that is to continue to trust God. ( remembering faith of a mustard seed)

I recently read a devotion about worry & thought I would list it here below.

"What if? What if? Have you ever dealt with the what-ifs? Entertaining the what-ifs in your life is the first step to being overtaken with worry. Worry is taking responsibility for things you were never intended to handle. Worry is a lack of trust in the Creator of the universe. Worry says that you can handle it when many times you simply cannot. Are you worried that you worry too much? You don't defeat worry by worrying about it. You defeat worry by redirecting your concerns to Someone who can actually do something about your situation. It does not mean that you do not take responsibility for the things you are supposed to handle; it just means that you know when you stop and God begins. Worried you don't know enough about it? Check out what the Bible says!"



Proverbs 12:25 MSG

25 Worry weighs us down; a cheerful word picks us up.
