Anxiety & Worry the killer pair.

Why do we hear many people, including Christians say “oh I do worry.” Worry causes anxiety and anxiety causes stress and stress causes an imbalance in our behaviour and importantly we do not walk with Christ in that time.

God has .afe it abundantly clear in Matthew 6 v 25 to 34. There, you will find 7 yes 7 Reasons NOT to worry!! Read them, and when you get to verse 30 at the end, it says if you worry, it shows a lack of faith in God 﫣.

Worry Not

@bwycbic

So many Christians ‘worry or are anxious ‘why? Do we not have enough food, drink, money or whatever it is. The Bible tells us in Philippines 4v5 not to worry or be anxious but to pray and God will easy and remove your worries or anxieties.

Worry is an anxious way of thinking and speaking about yourself. This causes a behaviour change such as stress or agitation. Our God wants us to be in faith and be at peace. If you haven’t gathered worry is bad for you and you want to break the habit read on.

The Bible is even more clearer in Matthew 6 v 25-34. These verses are from Jesus himself, He says don’t worry. Now I hear you say that’s easy for Him to say that but I can’t stop worrying its the situation I’m in.

As you are a person of faith and believe in our God read Matthew 6 v 25-34. Really focus in on verse 30 either in KJV, NLT, AMPC or ESV at the end of this verse it says, ‘You of little FAITH’!

Jesus is challenging you to increase your faith, cast aside worry or and anxiety and step into deeper faith and be at peace.

When I read these verses and verse 30 hit me it told me I had little faith. So what did I do about it? It wasn’t easy but I reframed worry and changed it to concerned. Everything Iused the word worry I changed it to concerned and asked for forgiveness.

Now that sounds easy but it took me almost a year to change my thinking, self-talk and spoken word. Now it’s established I automatically and very very rarely I do say worry, however if I do it is followed by concerned very quickly and I ask God for forgiveness.

It’s a challenge however if you have read this far why not challenge yourself and STOP saying WORRY. Amen

Have fun reflecting on this…

Saw this and had a good laugh and questioned myself anyway… Life in the Spirit is fun, well at least the HS thinks so. What would our lives be like if we totally totally trusted Him. What a smile we would have and what light we would display.

Rem Phillipians 2:15, let’s look at our selves clean away anything that dins our light. Polish with His word and shine.

The thief on the cross

“How does the thief on the cross fit into your theology? No baptism, no communion, no confirmation, no speaking in tongues, no mission trip, no volunteerism, and no church clothes.

Two short lessons for effective leadership

Remember inside out not outside in

Most people approach success from the outside in to achieve real success you have to do it from the inside out. Focus on your character and your whole life improves. Changes in character bring substance and power while external improvements are merely cosmetic and quickly fade away.

I visit a wide range of leaders from a wide variety of backgrounds; one thing I notice with over 99% of leaders is that they use the word ‘I’.
Two short but powerful leadership lessons.
