Worry About Nothing

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

                                                                                                  -Matthew 6:33-34


Now, this post isn't for everyone as I know there are people out there who do not believe that there is a God so I apologize in advance if this blog offends you; however, I felt as if I needed to post this so people who are going through something can at least have a piece of mind knowing that they are not the only ones who go through storms.

When it rains, it pours. A lot of us say that when we go through problems in life. Too many of us worry about the problems in our lives that's simply out of our control. But us being humans, we always try to figure things out on our own. The thing that we forget to do when the world seems like it's out to get us is run to God.

Worry about nothing. Instead, pray about everything. These are the words I said to myself this morning. Sometimes, the battle we face in life is not ours.....it belongs to God. We have to ask God to handle our battles and have faith to know that everything will be alright. God is bigger than any problems, sickness and disease. He is the author and the finisher. He is a miracle worker and we can all things through Christ who gives us strength. We need to stop worrying about things that are out of our control. God has our backs! Everything we go through in life has a purpose. God is trying to tell us something......one of the things he is trying to say is "trust me".

When we pray, and we give our worries to God, we should automatically be at peace. If you trust him with all of your heart, you should know that he will not give you something that you can't handle. There was a quote that I saw on a social network that said "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers." So I ask, what are you worried about?

I found a bookmark inside one of my grandmothers Bibles (Rest in Peace) and it says "How to use the Bible". It gives you scriptures to look up whenever you are going through something so I would like to share these with you so you can add them to your daily lives:
