Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34
God never intended us to carry tomorrow's burdens along with today's. Most the stuff we worry about never happens anyways or turns out better then we anticipated. Worry, like faith, a spiritual battle.... attracts the very same things we fear, clouds our judgement and distorts our perspective.
Replace it-->"Whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things." - Phillipians 4:8
Dissect it--> "Fear involves torment" -1 John 4:18; "fear torments you; your imagination runs amok, conjuring up all kinds of scary scenerios. But it's also illogical; when you take it apart rationally and systematically, it loses it's power to control you."
Rise above it--> "But those whose hope is in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:31
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen youand help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
"As you know, we consider the blessed those who have persevered...... The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." - James 5:11
"If you look for me whole-heartedly, you will find me"
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9
