I totally get that Jesus says not to worry about what we eat, wear or what’s going to happen tomorrow and I totally want to align myself with His instructions. And I’d also venture to say that from time to time, we both have a little bit of a challenge in the “concern” area. Here are some ideas / thoughts that may be useful:
- break big issues into smaller pieces or components and they might not seems as overwhelming
- memorize some verses from the Bible that you can lean into when you feel like you’re drowning in the “worry” zone – Ps 55:22 is a great resource, as a starter
- health upkeep – here’s the normal nagging of drinking lots of water & maintaining an consistent exercise routine
- worship tunes that lift up Jesus always help me to put any problems or worries into a better perspective
- It always helps me to remember to put my trust in God & to lift up my soul to God (Ps 25:1)
These are a few ideas that have been useful to me. What helps you? Please share 🙂
