Worried?
Mathew 6:26-27
"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow, reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you much more valuable than they? Who of you can add a single hour to his life by worrying?"
I have a problem with worrying, just as many others. As I try to go to sleep at night, my mind reels thoughts at a million miles an hour. There's simply too much to think about. I bet if I never got tired, I could stay awake all night just thinking about yesterday or tomorrow.
The most common thoughts, though, are the ones where the thought isn't complete. The ones where you have to solve a problem. The ones where the ending is unknown. These keep you awake hours upon hours thinking about how you're going to solve the problem.
This is where God comes in. He is the one who created us, he takes care of us, he even keeps the universe intact. How is it that we turn away from his safety so easily for our evil world's false assurance?
All we need to survive this life is him. When I start to worry like that, I put myself in check. I recognize what I am doing and I give it to God. And in Jesus name, the devil gets behind me. I do not ever have to fear him, and I do not have to worry because Jesus has my back.
Whatever thoughts satan puts in my mind to try to destroy me, I'll trade with God and get peace of mind instead.
