God’s Word tells us not to worry about anything and that we should pray about everything. Which do you spend more time doing? If you are like me, you probably spend more time worrying than you do praying! How much time do you add to your life by worrying about things? I would suspect that you do not add one single second. In fact, I believe facts show that you actually take away time when you worry too much and add stress to your life. Worry causes stress, which has a negative effect on your health.
Prayer is communicating with God and sharing your worries, giving them to him, and unloading them. He will carry your burdens for you if you trust him to do so. Allow him to lift them from your shoulders as you cast all your cares upon him and experience the peace that only God can provide. He wants to know what is on your heart and mind because he loves you. Pray about everything!
Philippians 4:6 (NLT) - “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
