Worrying
is a growing medical nightmare. Worrying, ruins relationships, sleep
and our health.
Known
as generalized anxiety disorder, worrying has no good benefits.
Jesus
told those filled with anxiety...
Matthew 6:28-34 KJV
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?
26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye
not much better than they?
27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,
and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe
you, O ye of little faith?
31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall
we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32
"...for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all
these things.
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.
34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.
II
Timothy 1:7 KJV
For
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love,
and of a sound mind.
I
John 4:18 KJV
There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm
39:4-7 NLT
4
“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that
my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.
5
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire
lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a
breath.”
Interlude
6
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in
nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

Cast
thy burden upon The Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never
suffer the righteous to be moved.

time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

to Jerusalem.)

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?
2
My help comes from The Lord, who made heaven and earth!
3
He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not
slumber.
4
Indeed, He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5
The Lord Himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your
protective shade.

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
7
The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
8
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and
forever.
Proverbs
12:25 NLT
Worry
weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.
Psalm
127:2 NLT
It
is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at
night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to His
loved ones.
Ecclesiastes
8:16,17 NLT
16
In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people’s burdens
here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and
night.
17
I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the
sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what
they claim.
Isaiah
43:1-3 KJV
1
But now thus saith The Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that
formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have
called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.
2
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and
through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.
3
For I am The Lord thy God, The Holy One Of Israel, thy Savior..."
Matthew
13:7,22 NLT

Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender
plants.
22
The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s
Word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries
of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.
Luke 10:38-42 NLT (Jesus Visits Martha and Mary)

As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they
came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him
into her home.

Her sister, Mary, sat at The Lord’s feet, listening to what He
taught.
40
But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She
came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that
my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come
and help me.”
41
But The Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and
upset over all these details!
42
There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has
discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
John
14:27 KJV
Peace
I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.

8:31 KJV
What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be
against us?

Christ Jesus.
