My Inspiration On The Bible---Worry--Read: Mathew 6:25-34.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Baby Worries

I have discovered that 90 percent of the things I've worried about never 
came to pass. And when what I had feared did occur. God's grace was 
always sufficient.

Then why worry? It is the silliest thing in the world for a Christian. 
This does not mean that we should thoughtlessly rush ahead of life. 
There is a big difference between foolishness worry and wise, thoughtful 
preparation for the future. To eliminate worry, we must face the coming 
problems and responsibilities with faith, trusting God for His Grace and 
provision.

Some people fuss over their troubles the way mothers pamper their 
babies. They cuddle them, rock them, hug them, cry over them, and hold 
tightly if you try to take them away. Such people want you to fret with 
them and to support their belief that they have been treated worse than 
anybody else. Their preoccupation with worries usually makes them 
selfish. They think more of their own little troubles than they do of 
all the world beside.

Are you troubled by fears and worries as you face today and think of 
tomorrow? Instead of feeding them, turn your concerns over to God. 
Psalms 55:22 tells us, " Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall 
sustain you." B*elieve it, and worry will lose its grip on your heart. 
...MRD

Poem by Cowper:
You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings over your head.

WHEN WE PUT OUR CARES IN GOD'S HANDS,
HE PUTS HIS PEACE IN OUR HEARTS.
