WORRY (1)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Worry

a) Worry doesn't accomplish anything. It's in the Bible, Psalm 37:8, NKJV. "Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm"

b) There's no need to worry; God has everything under control. It's in the Bible, Matthew 6:31-33, NIV. "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

c) We cannot remove worry until we replace it with something better—prayer. It's in the Bible, Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV. "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

d) Worrying is a waste of time. It's in the Bible, Luke 12:24-26, NIV. "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"
