What is Worry?

A feeling of uneasiness, dread or something that might happen

There is a difference between concern and worry.

Concern is helpful but worry is detrimental.

Make sure you know the Lord as savior!

Causes of worry

1. Fear

But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear. - Matthew 14:26

Fearful finances 

Not enough money at the end of the month

Disease 

As you age, your health declines!

Every pain makes you think the worst!

2. Storms of life

Difficulties 

Trials

They happen at the worst of times!

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." - Matthew 14:30

My God is for me!

Worry doesn't work.

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Corrie Ten Boom

3. Death

Lord save me!

We are vulnerable.

Our body is corrupted. 

You see a loved one die or you get a diagnosis that could end in death.

Cures for worry

1. Do not be afraid.

26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." - Matthew 14:26-27

When you are with Jesus in the storm, you are going to be ok.

He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

2. Do not doubt.

30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."

31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" - Matthew 14:30-31

But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26

God is omnipotent!

All inclusive! All powerful!

He spoke the world into existence!

Look at your worries and know our God is able.

3. Do not do life alone.

32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." - Matthew 14:32-33

Jesus got into the boat with Peter and the other disciples.

They shared life together.

Worship God together.

Make disciples together.

So

Share Jesus together.
