WORRY ... ?

Cures for Worry And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) Worry is defined as a mental distress resulting from deep concern over a matter. It is persistent, and it is a nagging feeling that leaves us helpless and hopeless. Many of us worry about things we can't control. Many of us worry about things we can control but just haven't gotten around to doing so. All worry is sin because it is the opposite of faith. It is hard to stop worrying on your own. Here are some scriptures that are definite cures for worry: 1. Let the peace of God keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) 2. Renounce all worry and by prayer, supplication and thanksgiving make your requests known to God. (Philippians 4:6, James 4:7) 3. Think on the right things. (Philippians 4:8) Thinking about God will keep your mind off yourself. 4. Keep your mind stayed on God and there will be no room left for worry. (Isaiah 26:3) 5. Use weapons of spiritual warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4-6). The mind is the first place Satan attacks. 6. Put on the whole armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18) 7. Have faith in God. (Matthew 6:25-34; 7:7-11; 17:20; 21:22; Mark 11:22-24) Do not worry about your life, what you are going to eat, drink or wear. 8. Live and walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:16-26; Romans 6:14-23; 8:1-13) 9. Do not cast away your confidence. (Hebrews 3:6, 3:12-14, 6:11-12, 10:10-23, 10:35-39) 10. Cast all your care upon God. (1 Peter 5:7) Give your worry to God and let Him handle your situation in His own way and in His own time. Print and use this list every time you find yourself in a situation that causes you to worry. Remember, Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." (Matthew 6:34)
