Why Worry

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”- Matthew 6:34 (NKJV)

There’s so much in life we can worry about or be anxious about, but by worrying about it we only magnify the problem. We get ourselves to the point where we can’t think clearly or rationally. When we get to this point there’s no possible way to be effective in our prayer life, or work out a solution to what it is we’re worried about if we are caught up in “worry”.

Matthew 6:34 asks the questions, “What of tomorrow?” But here’s the truth, tomorrow hasn’t come yet; and today is the only thing we need to worry about at the moment. One day at a time.
When we start to get anxious about things that may or may not happen, the only thing we can do and must do is give it over to God in prayer. It is there that we find God’s peace in our worry.

Don’t let worry take root in your life because it will take over, like a weed in a garden. You can’t have faith if you walk around worried all the time. Here’s the challenge for each of us, let’s take your eyes off all the “what ifs” and get them focused on Jesus. It doesn’t matter how bad the situation you may find yourself in, because you can walk through it and anything else that comes your way, with your eyes on Jesus. We don’t have to live with anxiety! We don’t have to worry about all of our “tomorrows”, God is already there and He’s working it all out for you.
