Stop overthinking. God's got you. You have literally nothing to worry about. And I know you've been constantly thinking about everything that could go wrong. All these thoughts are replaying in your mind. You're constantly thinking about the worst case scenario. You've got something that been weighing heavy on your mind. Its been keeping you up at night, stealing you sleep, stealing your peace, just sitting on your chest, weighing heavy in your mind. if that explains you at all, please read until the end of this. You will not regret reading this. I guarantee you are going to leave this topic feeling lighter, freer, more peace and joy than you've ever felt in your entire life. Not because of me, but because of God. So, all I want to do right now is just take a deep breath, because I know your reading this right now with a serious face, you've probably got your jaw clenched, your shoulders are tight. I need you to just relax. you've been holding tension in your body that you didn't even know you were holding. you've been holding on to all these things In your mind that you've got to let go of. and I'm going to tell you how to do it. I'm going to tell you what God says about that thing that you're worried about. and your going to realize that you don't have anything to worry about after this.
I'm going to start with a study that was done. I did some research on it and the study was where they had chronic worriers write down every single thing that they were worried about. and then they tracked those worries to see if they actually came true. and you know what the study showed? 91% of the things they worried about never happened. didn't come true. it was a waste of time by worrying about it. and here's the part that you got to pay attention to cuz I know what you're thinking. you're like "yeah, but this thing I'm worried about is defiantly a part of that 9% of things that do happen" okay, cool. guess what? out of the few worries that did come true, most of them turned out better than the person expected. so let that sink in real quick... you're spending all this mental energy all this mental capacity worrying about a future that 9 times out of ten is not going to happen the way your imagining it. and even if that worry you have is a part of that 9% of things that do happen. okay cool. lets say it is. lets say that thing your worried about right now happens. guess what? its still going to happen whether you worry or not. worrying doesn't take away tomorrow's problems, it only takes away todays peace. that's why Jesus said in the Bible, "can you add a single hour to your life by worrying?" now, listen. I'm not an expert. I think he was saying worrying is a big old waste of time. it doesn't take away tomorrow's problems, it only takes away todays peace. worrying is just think that God is going to fail. and you worry to much for someone God has never failed. because even if that thing does happen, you know what God said in the Bible? in fact, he didn't just say it, he promised it. He promised to work all things for your good. how many things? not some things. not other things. ALL THINGS. that's means, the good, the bad, and the ugly. and yes, even that thing your worried about right now. you literally have nothing, and I mean nothing, nada, zero, to worry about. you suffer more in your imagination than you do in reality. and you know what he told you repeatedly in the Bible? to not be afraid, in fact he said do not be afriad 365 times. that's one for every day of the year. he made it very clear that you have nothing to worry about. he tells you over and over to trust Him. in fact, that's why God gave Noah very detailed instructions on how to build the ark. and you know that ark was missing something that all boats need? it was missing a steering wheel. and that was not a coincidence because God never intended for Noah to be the captain. God was the captain. all Noah had to do was put his trust in God. God's job was to steer the boat. and then reason why your so stressed is because your trying to put a steering wheel where God never asked you to put a steering wheel. your trying to grab a wheel that was never yours to hold. for 40 days and 40 nights, all Noah could see was water and he had no way to steer out of it. and he was completely fine because he knew God was in control. and he trusted God to steer it in the path God wanted it to go. I want y'all to say this maybe today, right now, or sometime in the future, "I have nothing to worry about. God is steering me in the way he wants me to go."
