Worry. One of those things I do quite often. I worry over several different things. For instance today I worried over my two tests I had back to back in English and New Testament. Yes, I studied. Yes, I did my best in preparation, but I was still worried.
I once heard a convicting definition of worry. “Worry is assuming God’s responsibility on your life.” This statement can be backed with scripture in Philippians 4:6:
“Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
After the tests were complete I felt stupid for having spent all that time worrying over something that God had under control. I need to remember that God has everything under control and according to Philippians 4:6 worry is a sin. It is telling God that you don’t trust Him enough to take care of you in every situation. May we learn to trust Him more every day and conquer the sin of worry once and for all.
