We often hear people say, "I'm such a worrier. I always have been; I always will be." However, the truth is that God did not design us to be worriers. He designed us to be free to live this life under his love and control. Worry is a tool of the enemy designed to steal, kill, and destroy the beautiful free life we were given in Christ. Jesus doesn't take worry lightly. He doesn't just say, "Hey guys, try not to worry." or "You'll feel better if you worry less." Read the following scripture noting what Jesus says about worry.
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ Matthew 6:31
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
Jesus actually FORBIDS worry! Yes, forbids it! That is a strong word and if you are a parent you know that when you forbid your child to do something you are absolutely serious about it. So, if you are a worrier, stop it! Replace your thoughts with the truth of God's Word time and again until the worry is gone. Train your mind to live free in the light of truth.
