Stop Worrying: Don’t Make Things Much Bigger Than They Are!
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give peace to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid (John 14:27 CEB).
Worry is draining and terrorizing. It creates anxiety in our minds. It causes us to make the wrong assumptions and see negative realities that don’t even exist. For instance, if Mary attempts to contact her beloved parents, but they don’t pick up the phone, then she begins to rehearse all the negative things that could have happened to her parents. Mary starts to play images of her parents being hit by a car and this image heightens her anxiety which causes her emotions to run wildly. As a result, for the rest of the evening, she is consistently calling them and her concentration levels are very low. In a couple of hours, her parents return the call and explain that were at an event. Mary got worked up for no reason.
Worry is a distraction that steals our peace and breaks our concentration.Instead of worrying about the problem, we could be using the same time to create a solution. If this option is not available, then we need to turn the situation over to God and live our lives. We cannot permit one situation in our lives to cause us to be sad. There are other parts of our lives that are good. Change your focus. God will take care of it. If He doesn’t remove it immediately, we will change and it will no longer affect us. Moreover, some of the things we are worrying about will never happen. UNTIL NEXT TIME, GOD HAS YOUR VERY BEST INTERESTS AT HEART. HE LOVES YOU VERY MUCH AND I LOVE YOU TOO.

Always do your best in whatever stage you are in life. Set high goals for yourself and also, spiritual goals. Furthermore, we must forgive, love others, pray for those who despitefully use us, bless those that curse us, press forward into the things God has stored up for you and make a difference in your realm. We have great things ahead and we are blessed! Know Your Worth! Celebrate Your Life! #LET'S MAKE HISTORY!
