From Worry to Faith

“This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God first. Trust Him.

You can live without anxiety or fretting – for God’s word instructs you to!

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:31-33‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Stop worrying!

Walk by faith, walk in love, refuse to worry, bring your requests to God with thanksgiving, trust Him, and keep giving!
