Proverb: Prov 16:3 "Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established." What Is Worry? Over concern about things we have no control over. Why Worry God will care for our needs. Mat 6:25 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" Seek salvation Martha Luke 10:38 "Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house." Martha worried about the work that needed to be done more than seeking what God had to say. Resting and not worrying Mat 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Seeking what God has for us is easy and restful Causes of Worry Mainly Fear Saul 1 Sam 28:5 "And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled." Zedekiah Jer 38:19 "And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me." Coveteousness and Discontentment Heb 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Results of Worry Loss of sleep Eccl 5:12 "The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep." Concern over things we have no control Luke 12:25 "And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?" Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego Dan 3:16 "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter." God cares for us Even the mundane things of life Luke 12:22 "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on." Allow the Holy Spirit to work Luke 12:11 "And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:" What Must We Do? Believe, Wait and take Courage Psa 27:13 "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." Trust and Acknowledge Prov 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Hannah 1 Sam 1:1 "Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:" Respect, have Reverance for the Lord Psa 34:7 "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." Pour Heart Out Psa 62.8 "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us." Prayerfully Request Phil 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Maintain Good Works Titus 3:8 "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men." Cast Cares 1 Pet 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Humbly Come to Christ Mat 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
