“Why Worry?”
Saturday, June 28, 2025Key Verse
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:34
Text — Matthew 6:27-34
Message
The word worry stands for:
W – Wasted
O – Opportunities of
R – Rest
R – Restoration and
Y – Youthfulness
Worry does not get your problems solved; so why worry? Worry does not change your situation; so why worry? Worry does not bring you closer to God; so why worry? When you allow worry in your life, you open the door for discouragement, murmuring, hopelessness, self-pity and even sickness. When you are worried, you can’t pray neither can you praise God. Worry crowds your heart and hinders you from growing. It blindfolds you from seeing better things that God has in store for you.
Instead of worrying whenever you are troubled, (i) Take time to read and meditate on God’s promises. (ii) Recount the goodness of God; don’t ever forget how He helped you in the past. (iii) Pray earnestly, casting all your cares on Him for He cares. (iv) Speak the words of faith and hold on to His never-failing promises. Remember, worry will only increase your burden, but prayers will remove the burden.
