Worry is not sure that we can pray about everything. Worry is always helpless to do anything about the future. So, give up worry for faith in God. He is your future. God knows all the details of your future. God controls the future. Faith prays, trusting God with the future.
Worry is not sure there is hope in God. Hope is a gift of the Holy Spirit made real in the hearts of all believers. Hope looks to Jesus Christ. He is Lord of life, now and forever. He has authority over your future, that includes your eternal destiny. Trusting him as Lord of your life is trusting the one who loves you and gave himself for you at the cross. His empty tomb is proof for your hope, in life and death.
Worry is not sure our future is in God's hands. Trust God's providence with all the details of your life. Trust the one who loves you forever. Trust God, who works all things for your good, according to his purpose in Christ. Worry and trust never live in the same place. Make your heart the place to trust God's everlasting love. Then, you give up worry.
Worry is not sure that God loves us. Understand that love and worry are never companions. If you follow worry, you will follow anxiety and fear. If you follow love, you follow God, for God is love (1 John 4:8). Why trust worry, when you can trust God? Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done (Philippians 4:6, NLT).
