Matthew 6:25-27 (NKJV) 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Say No to the “worries”!
OK, tell my head that. I know how it is. I can wake up, and before I even put my feet on the floor my head starts in. It can be a very hard thing to overcome.
How do we shut down the mind?
Worrying does us no good. My dad said to me the other day, “worrying doesn’t help anything or anyone.”
We don’t get answers when we worry. We don’t solve problems when we worry. We don’t change things by worrying. All it is is a big FAT distraction that paralyzes us and prevents us from doing the very thing we need to be doing.
Worrying is exhausting and can cause us to become sick. it can ruin relationships and do a lot of damage.
So today is a new day. For those that have a worrying head, we are going to do something different.
We are going to look beyond our situation today and not even give it a thought. Nope, when the “worries” pop into our heads, we are going to turn our thoughts to God and say, “you told me not to worry, so I’m going to listen to you today. I’m going to trust that YOU’VE got this”.
Then we are going to move on and continue our day, doing what we know needs to get done and thanking Him for taking care of it.
Continue to repeat these steps every time the “worries” come.
After awhile it does get easier; we get stronger, things change more quickly and answers come sooner. It becomes part of us and we live a “worry-less” life!
Just what God intended for us!
EnJOY your day!!
