Matthew 6:27 (NKJV) Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
It’s no secret. Just about every person reading this is going through some kind of trial or struggle.
It may be a financial trial, a relationship trial, a struggle with some kind of addiction or any number of other kinds of struggles and trials. It happens to every single one of us.
When these kinds of things happen in our lives, it can turn our world upside down. It can cause us to have to make decisions and choices that we never thought we would even have to consider in the past.
So when this happens, what do we do? Do we stress and spend every waking minute worrying about the “what ifs”?
We can do that. It’s pretty easy to fall into. But it doesn’t do us a single bit of good.
Jesus taught that nobody can change anything by worrying. In fact, people who spend a lot of time worrying end up with various health problems from the stress that they carry, including high blood pressure, stress headaches, ulcers, weight gain and much more.
So what should we do?
1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
We need to humble ourselves and admit that there are some things that we just can’t change, and then we need to hand them over to God, trusting that He will bring the help that we need.
It’s not always easy, but the more we do this, the easier it becomes.
