WORRY vs. TRUSTING GOD
Today, let's w**d out worry and plant trust in Jesus. Let's realize a few keys to understanding and overcoming worry:
1. WHY WORRY? Worry never works. Jesus said, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"(Luke 12:25, NIV).
2. WORRY WASTE LIFE: It never solves problems, and it dissolves energy and time. Again, IT NEVER EXTENDS LIFE.
3. WORRY NEVER HURRIED ANSWERS. It falsely gives one a feeling of "doing" something. Yet it never does!
4. TRUST REMAINS A MUST: TRUST GOD. His Word, not worry, must reign in our hearts. For every worry, find an applicable Bible verse to memorize and internalize. Instead of denying the fact that you're worrying, face it with God's Word.
5. TRUST GOD MORE THAN FEELINGS. And transform typical negative "what if's" into positive, faith-filled "what if's." (i.e. Instead of worrying something in your life might suddenly flop, start wondering whether something in your life might soar and give God glory!) God never leads us wrong. Every good and perfect gift comes directly from Him! Jesus said, "If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" STOP WORRYING. INSTEAD, START PRAYING & OBEYING.
6. UNCONDITIONALLY TRUST & LOVE GOD:
Remove conditions from your faith walk. (Stop the "If You do this, I'll love You more" syndrome.) God never changes. He unconditionally loves us and plans what's best for us. Let's love Him unconditionally, too.
7. LOVE GOD & others without fear or worry of rejection. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love" (1 John 4:18, AMP).
When we let God's love enter and flow through us, we exit fear.
WORRY NEVER WINS. TRUSTING GOD NEVER FAILS!
