Worrying

“And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?” (Luke 12:25)

Really, can any of us add a single moment to our lives by worrying?  No we can’t.  So, why worry?  

When we worry our hearts and minds are not focused on God’s will for you but instead on our plans for our life.  We are absorbed in how we would resolve issues not on embracing God’s plan for us.  

Worry is a distraction from truth.  It leads the soul astray and pulls the soul into darkness.  God asks us not to worry and instead trust in His goodness and in His plans for our lives.  

No matter the circumstances of your life, God wishes peace for you.  When you are overwhelmed give Him your concerns, your fears, your will and He will bless you with His love.  He will unburden you, fill you with the gifts of His Spirit, and lead you to a place of peace and understanding.  Do not fight His will for your life.  Embrace His will and rest safely in His arms.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I want to be free of worrying.  I give You all my plans and all my desires.  Help me to accept Your will for me and allow myself to rest in Your love.  Thank You for the peace You offer me.  I love You.  Amen.
