Does It Really Matter?

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
— MATTHEW 6:27 (NIV)

I constantly remind myself not to take God’s place. What do I mean? Well, I waste a lot of time trying to figure things out on my own. I try to figure out how “this” is going to work in my life or how I can’t let “that” happen to me. I worry about what people think about me because of my past or what I can do to change the thoughts of others. I spend a lot time worrying about things I cannot control until I bump my head thirty-five times and begin to ask myself, “Does my worrying really matter when I have faith God is in control?”

If I really believed God was in control, I would know I have nothing to worry about. The thing is, I have to remind myself that I can’t add a single hour to my life by worrying. I need to step aside from trying to play god and allow God to be God! He’s the one that can take my worst mistake and make it work out for my good. He’s the one that can make those people talking about me my footstool. He is the one that makes sure those weapons formed against me won’t prosper. So, does it really matter what I’m worrying about? Not even a little bit. So today, I choose not to worry about what tomorrow will bring. And instead of allowing worry to manipulate my spirit, I’m going to allow praise to fill it knowing that God’s got me. Won’t you join me?

Ain’t no need to worry

Heavenly Father, I can’t add one single hour to my life by worrying, so I’m choosing today to step aside and allow Your Holy Spirit to give me the wisdom and understanding I need to navigate life. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
