SCRIPTURE:
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? ~ Luke 12:25
OBSERVATION:
There is so much in life to worry about – money, relationships, appearance… It’s so easy to get caught up in the worries. But all worrying does is paralyze you and make you become counterproductive. It’s wasted time and energy. We should place our time and energy into something we can control and then trust and have faith that God will take care of the rest .
APPLICATION:
I sometimes worry about things that really aren’t a big deal and that I really shouldn’t worry about in the first place. The time I spend worrying about things could be used to do something about it. Or, if I have no control over it, I could use that time for something I have control over.
PRAYER:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen
