Worry

I feel like the queen of that title, worry. It's no wonder with what is happening all around us. We have fallen on extremly hard times. I feel like there is no escaping. As I grow my family, my worry seems to sometimes overtake the joy of having a family, and I begin to doubt the Truths that I know. So, this blog is dedicated to those truths in the Bible to remind me/us that we aren't to worry and that God loves us and wants us to enjoy life. No matter what happens, good or bad, all the glory goes to Him. I need to praise Him for the difficult times just as much as the good times. Here are some verses that I lean on to help me remember that I don't have to worry...

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10

You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you. Deuteronomy 3:22

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

2 Timothy 2:7 is one of my favorite verses and one I always go back to, when stress is overtaking me.

Thank you for the reminder. :)
