No Worries

Have you ever heard of those new fangled stain removers that promise their product will dissolve every known stain in America and bring your clothes out of the washer looking more vibrant than ever before?  They are called something like Stain B-Gone.  You and I need that kind of remedy with our worry and everyday cares.

Worry can be huge and feel un-climbable. It can eat you alive. There is a mountain called "worry" and we can easily get into a routine of fear and over concern when we fail to trust God.  Worry is therefore a lack of faith and Scripture teaches, "what so ever is not of faith is sin".  It is a large mountain that we circle aimlessly because we take matters into our own hands. But Scripture declares, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication make your requests known unto God. And the God of peace will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

It has become a negative habit of ours to worry about everything and pray about nothing.  But on the contrary, God's Word teaches us to worry about nothing and pray about everything.  We just have it all backwards.  

His Word is full of precious promises that God will supply our need.  God will not forsake you but if you are faithful to "abide in Him and His Word abide in you, then you can ask what you will and it shall be done."  And this leaves no room for worry.  We must walk in obedience, let go and totally trust God.
