A Message For Worry Warts

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad.” Anxiety and worry are the bad boys of hope. When we are dealing with thoughts that go against the word of God, it can throw us off course. The bible says, bring every thought into captivity to the scrutiny of God’s word concerning you (2Corinthians 10:5). If that thought doesn’t line up to what the bible says about you, then it’s from the dark side of influence. As we re-program our thought processes with God’s word, we begin to move into a faith led lifestyle which doesn’t include anxiety. All the “What ifs” or “Suppose this happens”, mentality will be moved to the back of the forefront of our decision making, because faith doesn’t care about tomorrow’s troubles. Anxiety weighs down the heart if you let it, but a kind word cheers it up. We must protect and guard our hearts at all costs. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth will speak. If we are allowing bad conversations, with drama folk to be in our lives, then worry, and anxiety aren’t far away. What we constantly hear drops down into our hearts, and with much input of whatever we’re listening to, you will begin to speak it out of your mouth, good or bad (Matthew 12:34). Through this door anxiety can enter. There are many ways we can be tempted to worry, but it all starts with what’s being heard. Hanging around the right people can make a world of difference in our lives concerning not having anxiety and worry.
