The most notorious faith killer in all of our life is WORRY. "For this reason, I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, not for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body than clothing." (Matt. 6:25)
Worry occurs when we assume responsibility for things that are outside our control. Jesus said, "..only a few things are necessary, really only one. (Luke 10:42) - All Mary wanted was time with Jesus.
The root problem of worrying is two-fold :-
a) trust and, (b) purpose.
Trust is faith. Trusting in God is having faith that He will provide for our needs.
Trusting in God is also results in living for His purpose.
Worrying is so natural for us that telling people not to worry about the future is like telling a fish not to swim.
WORRY DOES NOT EMPTY TOMORROW OF ITS SORROW; IT EMPTIES TODAY OF ITS STRENGTH - Corrie ten Boom
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR SAP YOUR ENERGY ON WORRY.
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,
it only sap today of its joy - Leo Buscaglia
Worrying is like a rocking chair,
it gives you something to do,
but it gets you nowhere - Glenn Turner
