Worrywarts

Have you ever been called a “worrywart”? Have you ever stopped to wonder what in the world it is? Well, thanks to the wonderful world of the internet, here is the definition:

Worrywart: Someone who worries needlessly or incessantly.

I’m pretty sure this would describe many of us, right? We worry about how we look, what we wear, how much money we have, what other people think of us, etc. etc. etc. Until all we do from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed is worry about one thing or another. Is this you? Stop and compare how many times you have had a worrisome thought to the number of times you’ve talked to God today. What’s the ratio? Is worry winning?

Have you ever stopped to wonder how annoying all of these worries have to be to God? He’s up there trying to take care of everything and all He is hearing are the worries of doubters clogging up the prayer-phone! Yes, every time we allow ourselves to worry, we are expressing our doubts that God can handle this. In essence, we are not having true faith in the Lord to take care of our problems. If you are a worrier, it is time to let it go and give it to Him. He is much better at taking care of things than you are!

“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”

Luke 12:25-26
