WINNING OVER WORRY

TOPIC: WINNING OVER WORRY

TEXT:  “Do not be anxious about tomorrow" (Matthew 6:34AMP)

Most of the things we worry about never happen, or turn out better than we anticipate. Worry like faith is a spiritual force. Like magnet, it attacks the very things we fear, clouds our judgments, and distorts our perspective.

God never intends for us to carry tomorrow’s burdens along with today's. So here are three steps to winning over worry:

1) Replace it. Telling someone not to worry doesn't necessarily stop it. Anxiety is like an emotional spasm, the only way to change it is to replace it. "....whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praise worthy think about such things (Phil. 4:8). In other words, change the channel! Replace it with the word of God.

2) Dissect it. '...fear involves torment' (1john 4:18). Worry torments you; your imagination runs amok, conjuring all kinds of scary scenarios. But it's also illogical; when you take it apart rationally and systematically it loses it power.

3) Rise above it. A man was flying in an airplane when one day when the sky grew dark. 'We can't see where we are going' he exclaimed. Calmly the pilot replied, 'we just need to rise above the ground heat, dust and smoke'. After climbing another 1000 feet they emerge into a clear, beautiful sky. Corrie Ten Boom called faith 'the radar that pierces through the fog'. When worry tries to fog you in, you can rise above it by moving to a higher dimension-the dimension of faith."....those who trust in the Lord will soar like Eagles... (Isaiah 40:31NLT). Hand your worries to Him today
