When Worry Won't Quit
Trading anxiety for trust.
For the racing mind that can't slow down.
The big idea
Worry shrinks when it's spoken to God instead of rehearsed in your head.
What does “When Worry Won't Quit” walk through?
The Honest Cry
Psalm 13:1-2 · KJV
How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
In plain English
How long, God? Are you going to forget me forever? How long is your face going to be hidden? I can't carry this sorrow.
Say It Plainly
God can handle your real feelings. Naming the worry is the first step to handing it over.
Just Today
Matthew 6:11 · KJV
Give us this day our daily bread.
In plain English
Give us what we need today. Not a year's supply. Today's.
One Day's Bread
He gives daily bread, not a year's supply. You only need today's grace.
Pray
Lord, I give you what I keep turning over. Carry it for me today. Amen.
