WORRY DON'T ADD ANYTHING TO YOU

The doctor came forward in his brilliant white lab coat to ask for Mr Aderanti's family, "doctors care but God heals, we tried our very best but I'm sorry to inform you that we lost Mr Aderanti", he finally managed to say. Mr Aderanti had developed high blood pressure about six months ago and was warned to desist from worry but he didn't. Worrying is something that happens naturally to a lot of people. They just can't help but worry about absolutely anything and everything. People worry about things they can work on and things they can never do anything about like their nationality, their family or tribe, complexion, height etc. Worrying has been discovered to cause numerous health issues physically, emotionally and mentally. Interestingly, some people don't even know the difference between thinking and worrying. While thinking is a productive process of ruminating on a particular issue analytically to attain a positive result, worrying is unnecessarily burdening your mind about an issue without thinking of any solution or taking any step to remedy the problem. When you worry, you think about a challenge negatively and only consider the negative possible outcomes only. Worrying presents challenge as problems that can only create more instead of something that can help you get stronger, wiser and better as you seek solutions to it. Furthermore, worry yields fear as well. FEAR is an acronym that stands for 'false evidence appearing real' and it has a way of crippling and stopping you from taking the right step. Young man, you have not been given the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind. Fear makes you powerless and robs you off sound mind. Worry also gets rid of your peace and joy. A worried person is constantly thinking of what can go wrong to the extent of losing their peace of mind. Worry also makes a person lose their joy. Worry and joy can't coexist in an entity. God has given us joy and peace but worry is a thief that steals it effortlessly if we let it. Guard your joy and peace jealousy. Will all your worries add a single moment to your life? Stop, take a minute and think about the answer to that question. Don't worry at all about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them and he will give them to you if you give Him first place in your life and live as He wants you to. Halleluyah! The Bible does not only tells us not to worry but also gives the solution to worry. So be at rest and obey God's instructions that asks you cast all your cares upon Him. Stop worrying, start praising, trusting and start putting Him first. Also think about your journey so far and you'll realize that your worry was baseless in the first place. Quit worrying, He cares.
