Are you a worrier or a warrior?

“Then Jesus said to His disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and body more than clothes. 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 your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” (Luke 12: 22-34). 

Are you a worrier? It is a common pastime for everyone. I confess that I have spent many a day and night worrying. If you think about it, we have a lot to worry about such as finding a job, paying bills, raising our kids, losing a loved one, not being enough etc. The list goes on and on. You know what I have learned over the years, worry does not change one thing. 

Friends, did you know that worry opens the door for the devil? Worry can lead to sickness and disease. Worry can keep you up at night and cause you to be anxious. 

It takes time to overcome the habit of worrying. Now days when we want to find an answer, we Google it. You can find the answer to any and all of our problems in Google, not! I repeat, not! 

I will provide two easy ways to help you become a warrior instead of being a worrier. 1 Peter 5:7 states, “Humble yourselves, under God’s mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

Two things that we can learn from these verses: humble yourselves and cast your anxieties. In other words, when you have struggles and we know we will, go to the throne not to the phone. Google will not have the answer, but God will. Once we gone to the throne and talked to God, know that He has this! In other words, God’s got this! 

Now this is the most important part of all, “Let it go!” I repeat, “Let it go!” 

Keep in mind that this requires work and practice. You are in training to become a warrior. I hope that you will try this today! Don’t waste another second worrying!
