Day 5

Worrying doesn’t change anything. It’s stewing within yourself without action (allowing yourself to worry about something doing nothing about it – cook/boil yourself in the juice of your worries)..
There are no such things as born-worriers..
Worry is a learned response. You learned it from your parents, from your peers, or from your experiences..
That’s good news because the fact that worry is learned means it can also be ‘unlearned’..
If you want to reduce the level of stress in your life, you must change the way you think because the way you think determines how you feel. And the way you feel determines how you act, which is why the Bible teaches that, if you want to change your life, you need to change what you’re thinking about..
This involves a deliberate, intentional, conscious choice where you choose to think about the right things. Because the root cause of stress is the way we choose to think, we need to focus on the positive and on God’s Word..
What is the result of not worrying, praying about everything, giving thanks, and focusing on the right things?..
St. Paul says we will then “experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)
Why don’t you try it? Take the challenge today! Instead of speaking your worry only speak the Word of God..
I cast all my anxiety on Him because He cares for me.. (1 Peter 5:7)
“”Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in Me”.……” (John‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬)
