People say “worry doesn’t change anything,” but it does.

 

The weight of worry changes how far I can walk with God today.

It changes how well I can hear His voice.

It changes whether I will feel God’s peace in my heart today or not.

 

If I want to walk with God today, the full journey He has planned, I must first ask Christ to help me give my worries to Him (1 Peter 5:7).

If I want to hear His voice today, I must first ask Christ to help me silence my own voice of worry and speak words of faith, remembering how God has gotten me through before and declaring He will do so again (Proverbs 18:21).

If I want to have God’s peace today, I must first ask Christ to untangle the thoughts of worry from my mind, and focus on things of heaven, not things of earth (Colossians 3:2), dwelling on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).

Jesus, please help me today to not let worry change the things You want to accomplish in me today.
