Pray More. Worry Less.

 
We people have a problem.
 
We worry. But we don't pray.
 
You say, "I pray!"
 
Well, likely not enough.
 
I know I don't.
 
It's time we pray more and worry less.
 
In this world we live in today, there is so much we could worry about.
 
Constantly.
 
Our finances.
 
Our health.
 
Our children.
 
Their health.
 
Our past.
 
Our future.
 
Even our present.
 
We worry if we don't have anything to worry about because we are worried we will soon have something to be worried about.
 
You get what I'm saying?
 
We all worry.
 
I love, love, love Matthew 6:34.
 
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
 
In other words, it's useless to worry.
 
It does no good.
 
I have been blessed with several precious friends in my life.
 
I used to worry that I would lose them.
 
I know though, that God will always keep the people in my life who will help me and who will support me and who will love me.
 
I want to be that person to others and I try to be if you know me personally.
 
I try so hard to love people deeply.
 
Because we aren't promised tomorrow.
 
So, don't worry for that reason alone.
 
We aren't promised tomorrow so therefore lets not waste today worrying about tomorrow.
 
It all goes back to trust.
 
Do you trust God?
 
Do you trust Him to save your children?
 
Do you trust Him to save your marriage?
 
Do you trust Him to bless you with a child?
 
Do you trust Him to help you through a hard financial time?
 
Do you trust Him to heal your sickness?
 
Do you trust Him to place a friend in your life who will lift you up spiritually?
 
Do you trust Him to calm your soul?
 
To let you sleep peacefully tonight?
 
To make all things new?
 
Well, He can.
 
And He will.
 
But you have to do this.
 
PRAY MORE
 
and
 
WORRY LESS.
 
If you pray for ten seconds, try to pray for a few minutes.
 
If you pray for ten minutes, try to pray for twenty.
 
It will change your life if you make it a habit to pray about it instead of worrying about it.
 
Now, go pray.
