Behind every moment of worry is a war for the heart. This battle is about who will rule over our hearts.
Defeating worry is not about hoping that tomorrow will be better. Defeating worry is about being a good soldier in this deeper war for the heart. It is about fighting the temptation to attach the peace of your heart to things that, by their very nature are temporary and therefore, are not organically designed to give you lasting peace.
Defeating worry is about daily feeding your soul on the promises and provisions of your heavenly Father. It is about taking special care before you name something a need. It is about living for something bigger than you.
Defeating worry is about giving the love and concern of your heart to the King and His kingdom and fighting the instinct to construct your own imaginary kingdom.
Worry and rest always reveal the true treasures of our hearts, and in this battle we are not alone because the King we are called to serve is also Emmanuel. God with us !
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life...."
