The Folly of Worry
Matthew 6:25 --- " Therefore I say to you , do not worry about your life."
As Christians, we have no need to worry. Yet it's one of those things we are all guilty of doing. We often become concerned over matters that should not trouble us. There are two things we should never to worry about. First, we must not be anxious about things we can't control. Turning them over to the Lord in prayer, we should leave them in His hands. Second, we should never worry about things we can control. We are to stop our worrying and start doing something about them.
There's a missionary gave this excellent advice: " Let us give up our words, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into God's hand; and then, when we have given all over to Him, there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about."
We should avoid worry, not because of the distress it brings to us but above all because it displeases the Lord. for the child of God, to worry is to doubt the heavenly Father --- and that's an insult to Him. He merits our confidence.
Placing our trust firmly in God and His promises will help us avoid the folly of worry.

The Bible gives a remedy.
By which we can be worry-free:
It's simply this: Trust God and pray,
Then watch the worries fade away.
"When we worry, we believe more in our problems than in God's promises."
God bless everyone
