What Would it be Like to Never Worry?

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

We live in uncertain times — honestly, time has always been uncertain if you think about it, but with more fear-filled people in the world there’s more fear in the uncertainty.

The only way to flourish, to live fully, bearing fruit, is to step unafraid — free of worry — into the world. So how, with all the uncertainties, can we be free of worry? How can we live unafraid? There’s only one way, by fully trusting in God.

When I say trust, I mean trusting in His sovereignty — trusting that every decision, circumstance, and situation is seen by God and filtered through HIS wisdom and knowledge. Even when we can’t understand what’s going on, God knows. Even when the world seems to be spinning out of control, we realized that it’s actually spinning by HIS control. It’s not allowing the things we don’t understand to keep us locked in our homes or secluded from other people. It’s trusting in God by going outside, meeting new people, growing relationships, dealing with the hard things when they arise, laughing together, helping others, working hard at everything to Glorify God.

The only problem is, saying you trust in God and actually trusting God is very different. It’s easy to say it, but it’s much harder to actually do it. To trust in anyone you’ve got to grow to know them more. Think about it, You never fully trust an acquaintance. So, to trust in God you have to know Him more, you have to build a relationship with Him, and that takes making TIME for Him!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

If you’re wanting to live fully you’ve got to start with Prayer. And once communication is open, to begin to know His thoughts and ways, you’ve got to Go to His Word.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1-5

Now you’re ready to step into the Dark where only His light shines. Take daily steps of Faith. One step alone into the unknown world will grow your trust in Him by leaps and bounds.

“He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

So what would it be like to never Worry? Living Fully by Trusting God, and Flourishing in the Uncertainties of the World around us.
