The Lie of Worry
God kindly took my hand and led me moment by moment to the truth that fear which causes worry is not from Him.
I started to see worry as a bigger deal than society likes to tell us it is, mainly because it comes to kill, steal and destroy.
The thing about worry is, it feels normal.
I wonder if I am pretty enough?
That’s worry.
I wonder what will happen?
That’s worry.
What if he doesn’t choose me?
That’s worry.
What if I get hurt?
That’s worry.
What will other people think?
That’s worry.
Worry is a thief. It will steal from you anything it can—your peace, your joy, your security, even your health. Just as we wouldn’t allow a thief into our home to take whatever he wanted, we must not allow the thief of worry into our mind to steal from us, either.
Scriptures
Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.Isaiah 26:3
