Don't Worry Be Happy

DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY


Therefore do not worry and be anxious.

– Matthew 6:31

God is strongly against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce stress, strain, and death.

Yet many people still worry and get anxious about things that sometimes are out of our control anyway, Jesus tells not to worry and tells us about the results in Matthew 6.

So if you’re not supposed to worry what are you supposed to do, well over in 1 Peter 5:7, God says you should “cast them all upon Him.” All of them not some of them or 75 percent of them, not all of them but the ones about your kids. All of them!

My confession is this, “I do not have a care in this world because I’ve cast every one of them onto my Lord.” That’s what your confession should be also.

The word cast, means to throw away, it’s like if had a ball and I threw it to someone else and you said pastor throw me the ball and I said I don’t have it any more.

That’s what you need to do with your worries. You need to cast them over on the Lord and not take them back. If Satan brings a worried thought to your mind, saying, “What if this terrible thing happens?” then you can tell him to talk to God about it. It’s in His hands, not yours!

Once you do that, changes will start to take place in your life. Problems you’ve been fretting about for years will start being solved. You’ll no longer be tying God’s hands with your worrying. His power can begin to operate because you’ve acted in faith and cast your cares on Him!

Remember, though, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to Him. Then you have to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to keep your thoughts under control. But you can do it. The Greater One dwells within you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. You’ll never have to worry again.

Remember Don’t Worry Be Happy
