Worry does not change anything. It worsens and compounds the situation instead. Most of the time the devil uses this subtle tool to introduce health challenges like high blood pressure which could lead to more serious issues like hypertension and stroke.
Instead of worrying, Apostle Paul advises us to pray as believers:
"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." Philippians 4:6-7 MSG.
And before you can effectively pray for God to answer you must first be a member of His Kingdom. Honestly to be completely free from worry, you must belong to this Kingdom. That is why Jesus said:
"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'what shall we eat?' or 'what shall we drink?' or 'what shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV.
"For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things." Is God your heavenly Father? All your worries will be terminated the day you accept Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour. Jesus loves you.
