WORRY OR TRUST? IT'S YOUR CHOICE

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your insight or understanding

Proverbs 3:5

Worry does no good and can impact your life in negative ways. I'm sure you have noticed how absolutely

Powerless you feel when you worry or you're anxious and troubled, because worry is indeed completely useless.

 

It is a waste of time and energy because it never changes your circumstances.

I like to say worry is like sitting in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth; it's always in motion and it
 

Keeps you busy, but it never gets you anywhere. Worry keeps you from living in faith and steals your peace.

 

When we worry, we are actually saying: "If I try hard enough I can find a solution to my problem", and that is the opposite of trusting God.

The cause of worry is simple: it`s the failure to trust God to take care of various situations in our lives.

 

Most of us have spent our lives trying to take care of ourselves, and it takes time to learn how trust God in every situation.

 

You learn by doing it. You have to step out in faith, and as you do you will experience the faithfulness of

 

God, and that makes it easier to trust Him the next time. Too often we trust our own abilities, believing we can figure out how to take care of our own problems. Yet most of the time, after all our worry and effort to go it alone, we come up short, unable to bring about suitable solutions.

 

God, on the other hand, always has solutions for the things that make you anxious and worried.

 

Trusting Him allows you to enter His rest, and rest is a place of peace where you are able to enjoy life while waiting for Him to solve your problems.

 

He cares for you; He will solve your problems and meet your needs, but you have to stop thinking and worrying about them.

  

Trust in Him

There is no time like the present to begin learning a new way to live - less worrying, more trusting. This is the time to begin thinking and saying: "I trust God completely; there is no need to worry!"
