No Worries

Worry is one of those nagging things that seeps into us, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually.
^
Left unchecked it will cause us to be obsessed with the “what if’s”. Our gut, heart, auto-immune issues, and head...all pay a price.
^
Emotionally we disconnect from the present and imagine a scorched earth future. It creates a lack of focus, clarity, and objectivity. It’s strains relationships because of trying to blame others or disconnect from being present in the moment.
^
Worry is always a choice. To not worry isn’t to deny “reality” and potential dangers. It is rather, to understand that we have decisions and choices.
^
While there may be several ways to keep it caged, there is only one cure.
^
Jesus points us to nature, and says, If God cares for the birds and animals so they have no worries, then we can trust Him to do the same with us, since He loves us more.

Paul looks to thankfulness, and reminds us to pray about the issue with a grateful heart, and God sends us peace in the midst of the storm. ^
David found confidence over worrying about his “Giant” by reminding himself of past victories that God gave over a bear & a lion.

I find that a relentless trust in God’ goodness and His sovereign hand in my life, keeps me worry free.
