Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. – Matthew 6:34
It has been said that worry is assuming responsibility for something you have no control over, for if you did have control, you would take the steps to make change.
A Texas pastor once said that worry is like sitting in a rocking chair—you can get it moving but it isn’t going anywhere!
Has any of your worries ever actually accomplished anything?
Jesus directs you not to waste your time with worry.
The apostle Paul reiterated the Savior’s mandate when he wrote to the Christians in Philippi, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
Did you catch the “with thanksgiving” part of that verse?
Do you know that worry and thankfulness cannot co-exist?
The one negates the other. The choice is yours to make.
By trusting God and being thankful every day, you learn contentment in your life, even when there are unresolved situations or issues.
