Worry Doesn't Work

From: Bob Gass Ministries

1 Peter 5:7 "Give all your worries to God, because He cares for you."

Dr. Charles Mayo, founder of the famous Mayo Clinic, said, "Worry negatively affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, and the whole nervous system. It profoundly affects your health. I have never known a person who died from overwork, but many who died from worry."

The Bible says, "Give all your worries to God, because He cares for you." By committing each day to the Lord, you are trusting Him to go before you and work things out for the best. It's the only way to live! Worry doesn't work. It's like a rocking chair; it will give you something to do and keep you going, but it won't get you anywhere! Life is too big for any of us to handle alone.

So when worry comes to prey on your mind, attack it with the promises of God. Go ahead, bring your fears to God and watch them shrivel and die: "...God's peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7) Amen!
