The Sunday sermon today was too good not to share with you...Worry
Finances, health, relationships, family, world crises, life, death, children and now for me grandchildren are all things most of us worry about. Yet we are distinctly instructed by God not to worry.
Here are a few facts about worry:
Worry and greed are related. Greed never gets enough. Worry is afraid it will never have enough.
Worry is unhealthy
Worry tears you apart inside and in every area of your life.
Worry in English means to strangle or attack.
Worry attacks the brain chemistry and causes less ability to cope.
Worry is unbelief in God's ability to keep His promises.
40% of what we worry about never happens.
30% of our worries are from the past
12% from what people think of us
10% about our heath
8% Are real things that can be handled.
How do we eliminate worry? Trust God with the details of our lives.
- God only gives us enough grace to handle one day at a time.
- Tomorrow's troubles need to wait till tomorrow.
- Seek God first and let Him take care of you.
- Remember you are His child.
- Reframe those worry thoughts. Put them into God's perspective.
- Turn the problems over to the promises of God.
- Cast them away.
- Put God first in every area of your life.
Once again...trust God to take care of you.
