Thoughts for the Day
This week we looked at great Bible verses that can serve as weapons in our fight against worry. Worry is a particularly infectious form of fear. Someone said “that worry is a trickle of fear that meanders through the mind until it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts drain.”
For many people, worry has become such a deep-rooted part of their personalities that once the old worries are gone, they search for new ones. Worry and fear indicate lack of trust in God’s promises. Instead of letting anxiety consume you, let the promises from His word become so ingrained in your thinking that worry becomes a thing of the past.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7).
Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed,
for his mercies never come to an end, They are new every morning great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3: 22-23).
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew 6: 33-34).
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4: 6-7 NIV).
