Worry Is A Waste

Matthew 6:25-34

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about  itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 

Worry means to choke, you feel like you have no options, it means giving much negative attention to what if this will happen, what would happen and what happened, you know giving too much thought on the outcome. The word of God is against worry. Jesus was so clear on this one because He knows what worry can do to you:

It is such a big waste to worry.

Worry is a sin.

Worry is not a weakness it is a wickedness.

Worry leaves you hopeless.

Worry means you are agreeing with the devil and disagreeing with God

What can you change by worrying?


When we worry we create huge monsters that eat away our peace.

Worry will keep you busy but it won’t get you anywhere.

Worry is a lot of work, it will make you tired.
Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

When you worry you forgot who God is because worry takes your eyes off God. You will be looking around instead of looking up.

Worry wastes time and energy.

Worry ain't gonna change even a single
 thing.

You make the devil happy by worrying.

Worry will do nothing but waste you.

Don’t talk about your worry.. the more you talk about your worry the bigger it becomes.

Worry will steal your strength and leave you drained.

Worry is like saying God I doubt you.

You will miss great things for worry.


 The Bible says in Matthew 6:27 Which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Philippians 4:6-7  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn't change anything. All it will do is steal and capture ones joy...keep one burden down...no happiness none whatsoever ...keep one grouchy and angry at others...not to mention how it would lower ones self-esteem ...and so much more.  
You gotta trust God knows what is going to happen and you don’t know. Understand that God knows what is coming your way.
It is time you sit back and let God lead you. If you do the right God will take care of the outcome.
Worry not.

Relationships

Relationships are one of the beautiful things that God made for us to enjoy but this is the area that most of us are struggling. Happy and stable relationships do exist.

1. When you love somebody, you give your all, you don't hold back nothing.
John 3:16 For God So Loved The World That He Gave His Only Son.. See God truly loves us and that's why He gave His best to us.

2. Communication: You have to be careful with what you are saying; it is not what you say but what they hear that really matters. 

3. Song of Solomon 2:15... Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming. The little things will destroy you if you don't take care of them.
The little things that you keep in your heart, bad memories of past, these little foxes will destroy the vine. Deal with them.

4. Speak and confess good things over your relationship and they will come to pass. 2 Corinthians 4:13. Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak.
Any good relationship can be destroyed by words. Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. God has given us the ability to speak things into existence, make sure you use this ability wisely.

 5. Any form of complaining is evil and it will lead your relationship to failing. Communicate victoriously; speak clearly and with great wisdom  and peace.

6. Remember the old saying, 'A family which stays together stays together?' Pray for each other, pray together

7. Saying I am sorry it was my mistake will save you a lot of trouble.

8. Break ups... the devil cheers you up to do it! Don't be weak, maintain good relationships. God does not like break ups and divorce.  Malachi 2:16 I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.

9. Understand that no one is perfect and your partner will never be perfect. Accept them as they are.  Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned...”   All of us are sinners; your partner is a sinner not perfect, give room for mistakes.

10. There is no greater crime in relationships than disloyalty, you have to be faithful.

11. Be each others cheerleader.. Cheer your partner even when the rest of the world boos at them

12.  God has to be the center of that relationship, if not? What is it that you've got?

13.The truth is always not easy to discuss but speaking the truth builds the relalationship.
You must speak if you want to develop a good relationship; The bible says speak the truth in love.
