"If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,O you of little faith"Mathew 6:30 Niv. Do you tend to expect the worst? Do you panic when you get a letter with IRS,stamped on the envelope or when you hear a rumour about layoff at work? The word WORRY comes from an old english word meaning"to choke or strangle" ofcourse that is exactly.what worry does to your productivity and productivity and happiness, it`s a self- defeating, waste of time. In the famous sermon on the mount (mathew 6:25-34)Jesus gave four reasons for not worrying and the secrets of of overcoming it. 1. WORRY IS UNREASONABLE: To worry about something you cannot change is useless.To worry about something you cannot change is foolish: And everytime you review a worry in your mind.It just get bigger.worry amplifiers problems out of proportion. 2. WORRY IS UNNATURAL: You were not born a worrier,it is a learned response to life. Infact you have to practice to get good at it.Fortunately worry can be unlearned. The only species in God`s creation,that worries is human beings.we don`t think God`s will take care of us. 3.WORRY IS UNHELPFUL: It does not work, it can`t change the past,it can`t control the future, it only makes you miserable today, worrying about a problem never solve the problem. 4.WORRY IS UNNECESSARY: God has promised to take care of you, if you will trust him with the details of your life. As a child, if you ask your father for lunch,money, you never worried about where it would come from ,that is his problem, let God be in your life"God will take care of you, just have faith" HOW CAN I BREAK THE WORRY HABIT? First trust God with every area of your life ,But your heavily father already knows perfectly well that you need them,he will give them to you.If you give his place in life and live as he wants you to(mathew 6:32) Secondly,live just one day at a time(mathew 6:34)
