Winning the battle over worry on our minds


Philippians 4:1-9
Worry is a universal problem. It is not confined to a segmented group of peopple. Paul deals with the subject of worry in the text before us. Verse 6 says,  “ Be careful for nothing.”
The word “careful” means “anxious, full of anxiety. Fear. So Paul is saying “ Don’t be worried, afraid, or anxious.”
Worry will consume your thought life that you cannot stay focused on anything because you are being distracted by what you are woried about. Worrry adversely affects our lives. Worry can damage our health, consume thoughts, disrupt our productivity, negatively affect the way we treat people, and weaken our faith.  But  there’s an alternative to worry, Peace.  lets look again on verse six, but let’s  read on this time to verse seven.
Here in the Philippians 4, God is going to show us very clearly how we can choose peace over worry.
Believe in God’s gospel. Share it to other people. God bless us all.
