Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples

Why Do I Worry?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Worry is a matter of perspective. If anyone had a reason to worry—it was Paul as he wrote Philippians. Paul’s perspective of God: Nothing separates you from the love of God. Facing possible execution, shipwrecks, snakebites, flogging, almost dying, imprisonment, Paul shows us in Philippians 4 that we don’t have to worry because God is in charge and He is the only one that can satisfy us.
