Worry and Missing the More
- November 03, 2024 / Joshua Ott
Worry. It’s not the same as anxiety. Anxiety is a generalized feeling of fight or flight. It is a systematic and exaggerated response to a trigger. Worry is practical, day-to-day concern mongering. The difference is between a condition and a decision. No wonder Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to make a choice to not worry. He goes on to talk about "the more." Life is more than what you are worried about. Your body (God’s design) is more. You are more valuable to Him. He is more powerful and better than we ever thought. Break the cycle of worry. Focus on the moment. Trust God. Practice gratitude. Get in a good prayer rhythm.
KEY VERSES:
- Matthew 6:25-34
- Exodus 3-4
- Luke 10:38-42
- Philippians 4:6-7
