Worrying can be an addiction that goes unseen and unaddressed. Yet, it can wreck so much havoc on your life! In this blog, we’ve taken an excerpt from the NIV Woman’s Study Bible<\/a>. Hear this exhortation, read Bible verses about worry, and then spend some time in prayer and reflection!<\/p>\n

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT WORRY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Depending on context, words translated as \u201ccares\u201d and \u201cconcerns\u201d or \u201cfear\u201d and \u201canxiety\u201d can be either right or wrong attitudes in a Christian\u2019s life. Fear is right when it is reverence toward God because of his holiness (Isa 8:13<\/a>), and care is good when showing concern for others (1Co 12:25<\/a>;\u00a02Co 11:28<\/a>). But worry is always wrong, for it paralyzes active faith in your life.<\/p>\n

JESUS TAUGHT: DO NOT WORRY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you worry, you assume responsibility for things you were never intended to handle. Jesus repeatedly taught, \u201cDo not worry\u201d (Gk.\u00a0merimneo<\/em>, lit. \u201cto divide the mind\u201d), even about the basic essentials of life (Mt 6:25\u201334<\/a>). Worry divides your mind between useful and hurtful thinking. Worrying does not change anything (Mt 6:27<\/a>) except to draw your focus away from God and his faithfulness and righteousness to concerns about the things of life, such as possessions and material goods (Mt 6:31<\/a>).<\/p>\n

WORRYING IS HARMFUL<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Worry is a choking, harmful emotion that saps your energy and elevates human strength and ingenuity above God\u2019s strength and his purposeful plan. Sources of worry include change, lack of understanding and lack of control over your life. Worry opens the door to worldliness, that is, preoccupation with the things of this life. Though the children of Israel had watched God split open the Red Sea to deliver them from Egypt, they could not believe he would provide water in the desert to meet their needs.<\/p>\n

Worry is the opposite of faith, suggesting that God cannot be trusted to take care of you or to provide what you need (Php 4:19<\/a>).<\/p>\n

WORRY CAUSES FEAR TO CROWD OUT FAITH<\/h3>\n

Thus, in the final reckoning, \u201cthe cowardly\u201d are listed alongside the \u201cunbelieving\u201d (Rev 21:8<\/a>). Linking worry with unbelief, Scripture gives direction for a return to full faith. The road from worry to faith begins with recognition that worry is sin and confession of lack of faith (Ps 139:23<\/a>), continues with deliverance (Ps 34:4<\/a>), and finally ends with the assurance that absolutely nothing can separate you from the love of God who is the great I am (Ro 8:35<\/a>;\u00a0Ex 3:14\u201315<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In place of anxious thoughts, you then freely offer thanksgiving from a heart established with trust in God as all sufficient (Ps 112:7\u20138<\/a>;\u00a0Php 4:6\u20137<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What worry or fear are you surrendering to the Lord today?<\/em><\/p>\n
