Something has you Worrying?

Worry is fear's extravagance. It extracts interest on trouble before it comes due. It constantly drains the energy God gives us to face daily problems and to fulfill our many responsibilities. It is therefore a sinful waste. A woman who had lived long enough to have learned some important truths about life remarked, "I've had a lot of trouble -- most of which never happened!" She had worried about many things that had never occurred, and had come to see the total futility of her anxieties.



STATISTICS ON WORRY
Only 8 percent of our worries are actually over legitimate troubles.
Dr. Walter Cavert did a study of the things we worry about. He discovered that:
40 percent of the things we worry about never happen,
30 percent of our worries concern the past,
12 percent of our worries are needless worries about our health,
10 percent of our worries are insignificant or petty (things that will really not make much of a difference in our lives one way or another)
We have spent 92 percent of our emotional energies over things that won’t happen or things we can’t change.  Do you see why God does not want us to worry? Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  ~ Philippians 4:6, NLT

Remember:

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Oh, by the way, when God tells us "Not to worry" in 'Philippians 4:6 - That is a Command!
