The number one worry in the USA is appearance! 

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:25-27 NIV).

 

The best thing to do when you start to worry is pray. 

Worry, on the other hand, has no redeeming power. In fact, it’s worthless. Here’s why:

 

1. Worry is a waste of time. It is irrational.  Every moment you worry is a wasted second of your life: “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27 NIV).

This is golden simply because of how practical it is. What a time saver - put your energy into something that will make a difference in your life- and worrying aint it. 

 

2. Worry never produces results.

Look as men we all have a drive in us that wants to solve things. Our wife wants to tell us how she feels and we want to fix it… she gets mad- and yes we need to understand that part of our relationship. BUT WHAT THIS SPEAKS OF IS WE WANT RESULTS! 

 

I don’t want to do something that will not produce results. 

*ever work on a project only to have your company shelve it, or drop it, or after thousands of man hours say “ we really don’t need this”.   ahhhhggggg…. You want results.

 

So why would you worry- it does not bring results. 

 

3. Worry is Practical atheism. God has promised to take care of all your needs. When you doubt that, you actually become an unbeliever in that moment. Like that wave of the sea tossed back and forth in James 1:6

 

James 5:13-15

13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.

 

In this verse it says nothing about worrying. It says in all things pray. 

 

What do we do?YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE FEELINGS...Feelings create emotions, emotions create states, states create moods, Moods create mindsets, mindsets create personalities. Your personality creates your life! *YOU MUST LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR FEELINGS TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE - You control your feelings by controlling your input… but the danger is we typically allow in what we feel, or what we feel we deserve, or what we have been programmed to feel! If you choose to live by your feelings you choose to live as a victim. (DR. Joe Dispenza)

 

This is what James 5 is saying- go directly to God in prayer and his word… stay free of worry and focus on who you are in God and who God is and what he said he would do!
