How Do I Stop Worrying?

How do I stop worrying? A distraught looking woman closed to tears said. There are lots of problems in my life. I woke one morning discovering lumps in my breast, the next day, and my husband of many years started behaving funny as if he wants to quit the marriage. All I had worked for over the years seems to be crumbling like a pack of cards before my very eyes, my hope in the Lord seems to have taken flight. There is no one to help, no one to talk to and God seems to be quiet. Where is He and how do I stop worrying?

Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations that seem to defy solutions. It looks like the whole world is crumbling before us and we are right in the middle of it. In such situations, where the problems seems so severe and there is no solution in sight. The best one can do is to hand it all over to God. At you are able to do yourself.

There is no human being with solutions to any problem, except our Savior and God, Jesus Christ. Remember what He says, that we will have trials and tribulations…”be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world for you.” Matt 6:25-27 says “Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat and what you will drink or about your body, what you will put on. Is life not more than food and body not more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor gather unto barn, yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?”

In every situation and circumstance, you go through, God knows about it, even before it happens. He has called you even before the foundations of the world and in Romans 8:37 He says:

“Yet in all things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” Always remember that Christ has gone through worse situations but at the end, He came out more than a conqueror. Moreover worrying makes you forget the promises of God for your life. In effect, you are taking your eyes off Jesus and focusing on the troubles like peter. As long as peter looked at the Lord, he was able to walk on the water, do the impossible. The moment he paid attention to the wind and the waves, he began to sink.

Focus more on Jesus than the problem and the storm. His promises are “yes and amen.” They fail not, neither do they diminish or tarnish, that which has spoken. He is able to perform. He is able to perform according to Ephesians 3:20-22. “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Also in Matthew 28:20b “And lo. I am with you always even to the end of the age, amen.

Check out the scriptures above and I believe you will come out stronger and victorious in Jesus name. Remember, God is still in the business of performing miracles. A miracle is supernatural intervention, causing great and inexplicable change. God is able to do these for you, change the situation for your good. He asked us to say to the righteous, it is well with you.
