Worry, Worry, It Seems That’s All I Do!

Happy Monday! It is the last few days of February. I’m ready for March. This week I am talking about something that is near and dear to my heart and mind: worry, worry, it seems that’s all I do!

If you watch or read the news any at all, you understand how I feel.

When I put negativity in my mind, I start to get anxious. When my kids were little, I worried about everything. My thoughts were “once my kids were grown, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore.” Wrong!

Matthew 6:34 states, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

So, how do I stop worrying?

I can tell you it isn’t easy. I believe it is a thought process change. It is a constant casting our care on the Lord.

I start my day with giving my thoughts to God by reading the Word and praying.

I have found that throughout the day, I need to talk to God. Things always happen in my day that tempt me to take my problems back.

Philippians 4:6-7 states, “do not be anxious about anything, 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 your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Find scriptures about worry in the Bible. Write them on sticky notes and put them on your bathroom mirror. When you start to worry, read these scriptures over and over. I promise it will help you.

Thank you for taking time to ready my blog today. Talk soon!
