\"20160427_212401\"“Don’t worry about anything instead pray about everything”<\/p>\n

Worrying causes; tension, stress, health problems, depression, a negative attitude, insecurity, and anxiety.<\/p>\n

Instead pray<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Prayer causes;<\/p>\n

Comfort – you feel as though someone is listening<\/p>\n

Relief – you speak the words out loud and many times it releases the tension, sometimes it helps to put the problem in perspective; many times when you keep it to yourself it seems worse than it really is.<\/p>\n

Hope – if you pray it is because you still have a glimmer of hope that God can help you in your time of need.<\/p>\n

Security – praying gives one a feeling of no longer handling the problem alone.<\/p>\n

This is what the Bible says about worry….<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore 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 than food, and the body more than clothes?<\/span><\/span> 26\u00a0<\/sup>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?<\/span><\/span> 27\u00a0<\/sup>Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a<\/a>]<\/sup>? <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Matthew 6:25-27<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead Pray….<\/p>\n
