Worry...

You can tell the size of your God by looking at the size of your worry list. The longer your list, the smaller your God. -Unknown.

I thought that quote (above) was profound. 
So...  we should ask ourselves these questions:
How long is my worry list? 
In light of that list... how big is my God?
Convicting isn't it?

So, then I had to ask... what can we do instead of worry? 
Well, the first thing I thought of was to... pray! "Go to the Throne before the phone!" is an old saying I love. Basically, it means before we go telling other people about our situation/worries/hurts/angers/etc... let us tell God first and let Him handle the situation for us. 


Yes, let us... ask the Lord to help and really give it ALL to Him. He is able and He is bigger than any circumstance. He is more powerful than any force of evil against us. And He does it all with perfect love!
Matthew 6: 25-34... Jesus tells us "Do Not Worry" is this passage of Scripture:
   “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?   “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
