"Fret not yourself. It tends only to evil." When we feel anger, the base feeling is actually fear, but anger feels more powerful then fear so most people choose to exhibit anger rather then fear. No one wants to come off as a pansy and tell anyone they are afraid, so we get angry instead. I generally have not been afraid of anything, until now. My check engine light is on in my car and it seems to be driving with less power. It is frustrating because I just got tons of car repairs done, but I guess that car will never be all fixed. My decision is to not worry about it. God will help me get a new car when the timing is right.
People are afraid and worry about all kinds of things; money, their health, people they know. Here are some good verses on that. "God will meet ALL your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Amen? Amen. :) "By his stripes you are healed" mentally, physically, spiritual and emotionally. Now do things that will make you more healed, like eat fruits and get exercise. As far as people you know, "Cast your cares on the Lord for he cares for you." Anyone that you are worried about, God cares about them too. Just give them to God. You can only do so much for others. Let God do the rest.
Try to not worry. It will only rob you of your sleep, which will make you more stressed out, which makes you worry more. When we worry we really are trying to take God's place, because we think we can control things. We think we should control things, but let go and let God. Maturity comes when you realize that Most things are out of your control. People who worry a lot generally hold everything with a tight fist. It is time to release it. Let your fists go. Lay it at the foot of the cross, and learn to relax.
