How Do You Handle Worry?

How Do You Handle Worry?

How Do You Handle Worry? We all know that worry can have a huge impact in one’s mental health. Most of our worry kicks in without us even realizing it.

We only worry when a concern or care enters our minds. Sometimes we have to pause and make decisions or ask ourselves: Are we going to let this worry take control over our emotions and our minds?

God does not want us to live in fear or worry all the time. We have to learn to trust God with all our problems because he cares.

We have to ask God to help us with the situation at hand, and we present it to God since he knows everything about us. God has said that he will fight our war for us.

God has said that he will fight our battle for us, so we don’t have to worry about anything.

The Truth About Worry

1. Worry shows a lack of faith: Worry shows that we don’t trust God’s ability to provide for us and take care of us. In Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus advises His disciples not to be concerned about basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, for their Heavenly Father knows what they need and will provide for them. 
2. God cares about us: God cares about everything that worries us. Many of us have life challenges that make us worry, but we don’t have to face them alone. If we trust God, he can help us overcome all the challenges.
3. Worry is a distraction: Worry can be a distraction, taking us away from what is really important: trusting God. What really matters in our lives is serving God and loving him, but the devil brings worry to take us away.
4. Worry can kill our faith. If we worry too much, that can kill our faith in God. We have to build strong faith in God so that nothing can shake it or kill it.
5. Worry can destroy our relationship: Our relationship with God can be destroyed when we allow worry to take over our lives. It can keep us from growing spiritually and becoming better in life.
6. Worry can steal our inner peace: God wants us to live in peace with ourselves and the people around us. The devil brings worry and fear to steal our inner peace. When we don’t have peace in our lives, we can’t grow and serve God better.         
7. We can’t love others: when we don’t have peace of mind, which can affect our relationships with people around us. We can’t love them as God instructed us to.   
8. Worry is not from God: God has not given us the spirit of fear; he wants us to live our lives to the fullest.
9. We can cast our worries away: We are not to allow fear to take over our lives; we can give it to God. God said that when we cast our problems on him, he would give us rest.
10. Tomorrow is taken care of: Jesus told us not to worry about tomorrow because God, our father, has taken care of it. We are to live a happy life and serve God without being afraid of what will happen next.
