“In every life we have some trouble but when you worry you make it double. Don’t worry be happy.” – From the 1988 hit single, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” from Bobby McFerrin.
The definition of “Worry” is to be uneasy in the mind; feel anxiety about something.
1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon Him, for He care for you.”
This means all your concerns should be given to God because He cares for you.
He doesn’t just want some concerns or big ones. He asked for all your concerns. Why do you only turn to Him when things are out of control? Because He cares, He can and will do a better job than you can. How successful are you when you worry? Does it change things for the better, do they stay the same, or do they get worse?
Psalm 121 reminds us to recognize your help comes from the Lord. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He’s always awake waiting to take care of His children and their issues and problems. He’s your keeper and protector, so why are you worrying instead of trusting God?
If you are worried about your family read Psalm 91. God has a wall/hedge of protection around you and your family. There’s no need to be afraid because all the bad things going on around you cannot consume you. No sickness, disease, or evil doers that try to harm you will be successful. They will try, but if you abide in the protective arms of God, His hedge of protection will keep you.
We are not designed to carry the burden of worry, fretting, or anxiety. We may be able to do it for a little while but eventually it starts to break us down. One of the major sources of sicknesses comes from stress and worrying.
If you don’t have peace in your mind, you are worrying. Give it over to God so He can take care of it, and you can get some peaceful sleep. Psalm 4:8 lay down in peace, and sleep; for God makes you dwell in safety.
Operate in faith and turn the issue over to Jesus and watch Him take care of it.
Proverbs 3:5 – 6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”
Don’t try to figure out how He’s going to do it. Don’t try and help Him out, either. Stop worrying, have faith and trust God. Because He is all knowing, and He love to take care of His children.
So, remember don’t worry be happy.
