I have been worrying a lot lately. What many people don't know, is that worrying is a sin. It is wrong to worry, because God has everything under control, we don't need to worry.... yet worrying seems to effect a lot of people in their every day lives, especially women, because we tend to be more emotional than men. We constantly worry about our jobs, our lives in general, our faith, our family, and all sorts of things.
Thankfully we can always turn to the bible for some guidance and motivation, and of course we can pray!
Here are some of my favorite verses and passages out of the bible...
Mathew 6:25-34
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your lifet?26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 "Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Philippians 4:6&7
6 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 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Is there any others that you know of.... it would be good to share a few :)
God bless
Love -E- xx
