No Worries

Do you every worry about paying bills or making ends meet? Do you ever worry about your future, perhaps plans that are in the making? Do you ever worry about you health? Do you ever worry about your work or maybe your retirement?  Any of you parents ever worry about your children? There are a lot of things that we can worry about. 


The bottom line is that life can be stressful and full of things that we could worry about, but I believe there is a better alternative if you would just let go of your worries. You may be thinking to yourself, “How in the world am I going to let go of these worries? If I let go of these worries, then how will anything ever get accomplished.”


Matthew 6:25-34 teaches us that we can trust God to handle all our concerns. He will take care of our every need. 

Three ways we can get rid of our worries:
1. Learn to trust God with everything
2. Learn to make God you #1  priority
3. Learn to pray about your worries

1 Peter 5:7 tells us that we can give all our worries and cares to the Lord. What an offer that is! We know the weight of anxiety, don’t we? When we are filled with worry and anxiety we can feel a physical, emotional and a spiritual drag upon us. Could you imagine taking other people’s worries and anxieties?

Mary Crowley said, "Every evening I turn worries over to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway."


That's good advice... when was the last time you tried it? Are you ready to live worry free?
