You feel uptight, your stomach seems tied in knots, and your whole body is tense. You don’t have to live that way. It’s time to start unlearning worry.
Do you control your thoughts … or do your thoughts control you?
Anytime you worry, it reveals a particular area of your life where you have not given God first place. That’s because any part of your life where God - is not - in control is going to be a source of insecurity and worry.
Satan takes major advantage when we’re weighed down by worry and doubt, and does everything he can to keep us in that state.
Peter said; Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:7-9
Would you rather have your worries –or- God’s Word running through your head?
Do something about it today: Confess your worry—and then fill your mind with God’s truth found in his Word.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
“Tell God what you need and thank Him for what He’s already done, and He will give your heart and mind peace” Phil. 4:6-7
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” – Isaiah 26:3
