How Can I Stop Worrying?

Worry is agitation, anxiety, confusion, distress, disquietness, distress, disturbed, dread, doubt, fear, fretting, misgiving, mistrust, torment, upset, etc. Worry is a very self-destructive emotion. It shows a lack of faith (doubt, which is sin, Hebrews 11:6) on our part, that God truly does loves us and is always in control. We should not worry but instead trust God, giving ourselves completely over to Him. Any time you dwell on your problems, you will become anxious and angry, and quite often the things you worry about never even happen. A favorite expression of a lady in one of my classes is: "You are crossing bridges that have never been built." If, on the other hand, you concentrate on God and His goodness, you will find peace and contentment deep within.

Psalm 37:8-9 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. [9] For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. [KJV] A worried, discontented spirit is wide open to many temptations.

Proverbs 20:24 Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?[KJV] We cannot understand the road we travel, for the Lord directs our steps. A child of God should never make plans or conduct any business, without the Lord. We often get confused by events around us. Some things we’ll never understand; while others seem to fall into place. We should never worry if we don’t understand everything that happens. Instead, trust that God knows what He is doing.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [KJV] Worry can cause ill effects on your health. God has promised to supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19).

Worry can:

(1) damage your health,
(2) consume your thoughts,
(3) disrupt your ability,
(4) affect the way you treat others, and
(5) decrease your faith in God.

Worry can immobilize you, whereas concern moves you to action. Our Lord Jesus warns His disciples about worry; it disquiets and distracts. Jesus says we shouldn’t worry about the length of our life; but let God lengthen or shorten it as He desires. We are in his Hand, and there is no better place to be! We shouldn’t worry about the comforts of this life; but let God make it bitter or sweet as He pleases. Food and clothing God has promised, so therefore we can expect them. Don’t worry about tomorrow, for it may never come for you. If we seek first the Kingdom of God, we will always be well provided for, even in this world. By our daily prayers we receive strength to bear us up under any daily troubles, and help us fight against the temptations.
