We've spent an awful lot of time in our life worrying. Hadn't you? We've worried about problems with friends, family, relationships, grades at schools, what people think about us, money, materials, etc...
Over the span of your lifetime, worrying accounts for hours and hours of invaluable time that you'll never get back. So, you gotta decide that you'd like to spend your time more wisely and more meaningfully. If you're not convinced yet to give up your worrying, no matter how often you do so, here are four biblical reasons not to worry.
- Worrying Accomplishes Absolutely Nothing.
Worrying is a waste of very precious time. It WON'T help you solve a problem or bring about a solution, so why waste your time and energy on it?
- Matthew 6:27-29
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. - Worrying is Not Good for You.
Worrying is destructive to us in many ways. It becomes a mental burden that can even cause us to grow physically sick.
- Worrying is the Opposite of Trusting God.
The energy that we spend worrying can be put to much better use in prayer. Here's a little formula to remember: Worry replaced by Prayer equals Trust.
- Worrying Puts Your Focus in the Wrong Direction.
When we keep our eyes focused on God, we remember his love for us and we realize we truly have nothing to worry about. God has a wonderful plan for our lives, and part of that plan includes taking care of us. Even in the difficult times, when it seems like God doesn't care, we can put our trust in the Lord and focus on his kingdom. God will take care of our every need.
- Matthew 6:25
That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life-whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:31-33
So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
Anyway, you should not be worried over what you're going through and any sorts of trouble you're having! Life on earth is too short for you to spend time worrying. We need to trust that God can take over our pain and problems. There're actually lots of evidences about how God believers go through difficulties strongly with God. Later on we're gonna post up more about real stories of people around us! Stay tuned!
p/s: Life with and without God is 100% different I would say as I personally went through this stage before. Well, I admit that I was somehow reluctant to believe in Him. But now I do because I see the truth. All you need to do is just opening your heart for more chances to know about LIFE.
