Worry
As you read in the title I'm writing about worrying. I felt to write about this topic, because it's something I recently went through. Firstly, I want to start with what the Bible says about treasures:
"... where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21
Treasure= accumulated wealth in the form of money or jewels, etc., any possession that is highly valued by it's owner.
I once heard a kid say that if God were his dad, he would have a lot of pocket money. Hm... that made me think about the fact that we really are God's children. But still, we worry about not having enough money to pay the bills, the rent, buy groceries, clothes, etc. Is it? Isn't God our dad? Won't He care for His children? Here's the answer:
"If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him." ~ Matthew 7:11

I had nights when I was so curious about what my future holds (what's God's plan for me, how He'll use me for His glory and where will I serve Him?) that I couldn't sleep. I believe God knows everything, even every step which I will take in the future, but my head wanted to know what will come in the future... it often wants to feel secure and fulfilled. It's so interesting... I still want to know how God will use me, BUT now I'm sure He knows exactly what He does... and He knows my heart's desire to serve Him with everything I am. I want to cling to and lean on Him. I'm so addicted to His awesome, sweet Presence!
So...
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7
