Day one to being worry free
This will be a 14 day journey To become worry free
To WORRY is to cause anxiety, a cause of uneasiness or anxiety; trouble, to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; to fret, usually of things that MIGHT happen, not reality.
Anxiety seems to consist of two parts; worry and physiological symptoms such as sweating, increased heart beat and raised blood pressure. Worry refers to negative self-talk that often distracts your mind from focusing on the Lord and instead trying to come up with your own solutions to a problem or situation, whatever it maybe.
For example, when you become anxious because you lost a job, you may repeatedly ask your selves how, will i make it, or how will i take care of my family. This kind of thinking interferes with your focusing on the Lord and what He says He will do for you if you trust Him.
As we grow Worry becomes a big part of our lives it is a learned habit, And once you have accepted the habit of worrying it is hard to stop. Worry is one sin that is conveniently overlooked and so easily explained way by many and with some worry is even an excepted part of life.
It seems that if you are not showing worrying about something you are considered to be childish or irresponsible, and in some groups if you don’t confess worry you are considered a liar, or a denier of the truth.
Well if worrying makes you a responsible adult then i don’t won’t to be one!
In my Bible i have found the words of Jesus printed “do not worry” printed seven times,
Mathew 6: “Do Not Worry, saying what will we eat? Or what will we drink, or what will we wear for clothing”?
Matthew 6:34 “So Do Not Worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 10:19 ”But when they hand you over, Do Not Worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speaks, but it is the Holy Spirit.”
Luke 12:11 ”When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, Do Not Worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say”
Luke 12:22 And He said to His disciples, “For this reason I say to you Do Not Worry about your life, as to what you eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on it.”
1Corinthians 7:21 “Were you called while a slave? Do Not Worry about it, but if you are able also to become free do that.”
I truly believe that when Jesus tells us to do or not do something that He expects us to obey, and that He always gives us the means to follow Him and do as He says. The only true problem we have is our own free will to obey or not. Jesus has told us "i will never leave you, i will never forsake you. and if Jesus has your back what can conme against you that He can not handle?
