Do You Worry?

6 Apr

“How can you turn all your worries and problems over to God?

For many Christians, even though we belong to God through faith in Christ, we still seem to experience the same problems that lingers in us before we were saved. We often become discouraged  in life’s cares. The fact that both the Old and New Testaments address this problem the same way indicates that God knows problems and worries are inevitable in this life. Thankfully, He has given us a solution “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall” (Psalm 55:22), and “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

Contained within these two verses are several amazing truths: God will sustain us, He will never let us fall, and He cares for us. Taken one at a time, we see first that God declares both His ability and His willingness to be our strength and support—mentally, emotionally and spiritually. He is able (and best of all, willing!) to take everything that threatens to overwhelm us and use it for our benefit. He has promised to “work all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even at times when we doubt Him, He is still working for our good and His glory. And He has also promised that He will allow no trial to be so great we cannot bear it and that He will provide a means of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). By this, He means that He will not let us fall, as He promised in Psalm 55:22.

So, each day, taking one step at a time, we should pray for God’s Word to guide us, read or listen to God’s Word, and meditate on God’s Word when the problems, worries, and anxieties of life come along. The secret to giving things over to Christ is really no secret at all—it’s simply asking Jesus to take our burden of “original sin” and be our Savior (John 3:16), as well as submitting to Jesus as our Lord in day-to-day living.

    I really enjoyed reading this blog ! Especially because I worry and stress over a lot of things, when I should just put it all in God’s hands ! Worrying just leads to more stress and like mentioned in the blog God cares for us and He will not let the righteous fall so I should cast all my anxiety on him !

    God willingness to help us with our daily problems, gives me somewhat comfort knowing that my heavenly Father cares about my big and little problems. Also he gives us the ability to lean on him.
