Why do we worry? I think because there are so many opportunities to practice it! So what to do? God wants us to overcome worry even when feeling overwhelmed by legitimate reasons to worry. All our worrying will accomplish absolutely nothing. Theres a little room in our minds, like a closet that we store stuff in. One compartment is used for worry. Lets go into that closet and do some cleaning ( you know like spring cleaning) getting rid of those things that you don't need. Now you don't need worry do you? Lets get it swept clean and don't put it back in the closet again. Now place in your closet something that is practical. Confidence in your Father that He has everything under control. He even said bring me the worry, His closets are much bigger then ours, so He can have the worry, and in exchange He will give you peace now that's something to replace the worry with in your closet. I would like to fill my closet with all peace, how about you? Close your eyes right now and picture your closet just cleaned and swept and now being filled to the corners by peace. I can remember being frozen in worry and thought I will never make it. Then I cleaned my closet just like I am sharing with you today. And I will tell you its a daily cleaning and you cant get lazy in your cleaning, I begged God to help me and He said I did already. Now daughter you must do your part, and that's how I do it one day at a time and if you stumble into unbelief, stand back on your feet again and start walking. Gods direction for our lives will escape us without His Word being a lamp for our feet and a light on our path. Keep Gods truths handy so that you can spit them at the accuser the next time he tries to handicap you with worry. All you need to be mighty in your life is faith and the Word of God. Through Jesus you can do anything God places before you. This includes getting that stinking enemy off your promised land and out of your closet!!!! Love and Shalom Sister Patty |
