Worry is a type of emotion which can make you feel anxious or troubled about the actual or potential problem. Why do we worry? We worry when we think about a situation in a pessimistic way or in a negative way. It is not an issue to look at problems in the other way round. But it becomes an actual problem when you start to ponder on it.
Where does worry come from? For example, say you need a job very importantly. But you doubt whether you would get it. This is where the much serious problem arises. The much serious problem now is doubting. When Doubting comes, it leads to worry. When worry comes, it leads to unwanted anxiety. When anxiety comes it turn into stress. Stress in turn becomes a habit. In addition to this your body gets affected. How to stop doubting? How to stop worrying? These are the question which you might have come at this point. Bible clearly says in
Philippians 4 : 6
” Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
Don’t worry about anything says the bible. It gives an alternative solution to this worry. “Instead” pray about it. Pray about anything that is troubling you. Pray about anything and everything. Why worry too much when you have a God who listens to you.

Are you tired of seeking a job? Pray about it! God will definitely give you the best job.
Are you sick and you are worried to death? Pray about it! God will heal you.
Are you stuck with life? Does everyone around you seem to be progressing? But you seem to stay in the same place? Pray about it! God will take you to heights you never know.
In I Chronicles 4 : 9 – 10 , we see a man called ‘Jabez’. His mother named him Jabez, meaning “Distress” as she had difficulty at his birth. But we see he prayed about it. He told God, “Oh , that you would wonderfully bless me and help me in my work; Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all evil and disaster!” . And God granted him his request. What a wonderful prayer. Though he was named distress he became a blessing by stopping to worry and telling God what he actually wanted. He transformed his worry at the feet of God.

Even today, you might be in the same position as Jabez was. Maybe you are most hated by people around you. Even your dearest friend might have turned their backs to you. You are really worried about you situation. You can boldly go to God. He hears all your worries. He takes all your worries and puts peace in your hearts. A peace that passeth all understanding will enter your heart. You will not have anything to worry.
This worry can be avoided by maintaining a inter personal relationship with God. You can exchange your worries for Joy at his presence. You can be filled with his spirit to remain unshakable even when severe storms hit your life. Finally, developing a character of reading God’s word regularly is an another place to get the spiritual food for suppressing worry. When worry ends, faith begins.
So let’s cast all our cares on the Lord and live a happy and a peaceful life without any worries. God bless you!
