Stop Worrying and Start Living

May 9, 2020 by maddie

“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27)

In this society we live in today tells us we need to have this or that, or look like this, or buy that car, or have that person, or that job. This world is full of distractions and temptations to “satisfied”, but the thing is if we look to possessions or wealth to make us happy we will always whined up empty and then try to seek more and end up empty all over again. I believe it is because God has designed us to go to Him when we are “weary and burdened and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

What is worry?

Worry is something everyone has struggled with. It is also something that few people actually talk about because it is so present and alive in our lives. Worry is to way to anxiety and to allow one’s mind to dwell on difficulties.

There are two different types of worry:

  1. 1. Is solvable worry which means it has a solution.
  2. 2. Is unsolvable worry which means it is out of your control

How can we stop worry?

I truly believe the only way to really conquer worry is to figure out exactly what you are worried about? Okay so what do I mean by that? For example, if you are worried you are going to lose your job why? Lets say you lose your job, okay then you cant pay rent or car payment okay so then you will have to move back in with your parents and sell your car and buy a cheaper one. Okay so what you really worried about is what people think about you , not about losing your job. I hope this makes sense. Worry is something I have struggled with a lot, but doing this exercise has really helped me with combating what I am truly worried about.

The most important thing is you understand how to stop worrying starts and ends with you. But you cannot do it on your own. I truly believe you need Gods help in order to truly conquer any fear especially worry.

Why should we stop worry?

There are numerous bible verses telling us what to do about worry, and that the bible says we shouldn’t worry. God commands us not to worry, therefore we should stop worrying.

Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.

Proverbs 12:25 -“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.”

John 14:1 – “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

 

Life your best life today

I use to be the one to worry about everything. It got so bad I couldn’t even think straight. My whole day consisted about worrying about this and that. It wasn’t until I got sick and tired of worrying and when I figured out what I was truly worried about. Even when I prayed and asked God to help me I still struggled with it. It wasn’t until I truly realized why its wrong and what I could do to fix it. Now I still  struggle with it from time to time but nothing as bad as it was. If you are anything like me I pray and hope you may change and realize you can conquer your worries with Gods help and live out your dreams today! 🙂

How to be humble

December 18, 2019 by maddie

How to become Humble 

James 4:10 “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up”.

When it comes to being more like Christ the first thing we must do in order to have His mindset is to be humble. Why? Because if we aren’t it will ruin our relationship with God. What I mean is God is above us. He is God, not us. He is the Lord of Lords not us, therefore we must trust and lean on His direction and understanding vs trying to do everything ourselves.

Isaiah 55:8-9

8For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Trust God always

When we come to terms with the truth and realize God is sovereign and He is the King that is when we need to humble ourselves and trust God more than we can ever trust ourselves. However, this world will tell you the exact opposite. People will tell you to “follow your heart; go with your gut; or do what you want”. But God says to

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding”. -Proverbs 3:5

Nevertheless, when you humble yourself you must realize it is a continual thing. You must continually humble yourself until you have fully adapted the habit. In order to fully be humble you must ask God to make you humble. God is able to do whatever is according to his will and if you believe you can become humble, God will do the rest.

1 John 5:14 “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us”.

Be humble and Love God

To be humble, is to know who God is and to Love God more than you love anything else. Which is really difficult, but it is possible. In Matthew it says you cannot have two masters, you will either Love God or Money. Therefore you must choose what you love, God or this world? If you truly love God, you will ask God to make you humble and you will have faith that He can help you become humble!
