Are you a worrier? Well you are not alone, lots of people are.

Yes! Christians who believe they have placed their faith and trust in God, still have the tendency to worry.

What benefit can ever be derived from worrying?

How can it improve our lives? How can it change a situation that you are worried about? Can anything good come from worrying? More to the contrary, it will stop you from reaching your full potential.

Maybe you are not a chronic worrier, but you’re experienced enough apprehension about things that cause anxiety, to get the better of you.

Remember the scripture verse “Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5 verse 7

Other good scriptures on the subject are;

Mathew 6 verses 27 to 29 {Message Bible} ” Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion – do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. they never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.”

Philippians 4 verses 6 and 7 {Message Bible} “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”

The easiest thing to remember in your troubling time is, God loves me, because the song says it  ‘Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so.’ God created you for relationship with Him. God longs to chat with you. He is waiting and He is Our Lord and Our Friend.

Take your worries to Him and give Him the problem. Nothing is too big for Him to handle. You don’t need to be formal in your approach, your Father God will always welcome you to chat with Him.

We are never alone on our journey through life, we are never alone and He will always equip us and help us, in our service for Him.

God bless.
