Why Worry?

Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself—it tends only to evildoing. Psalm 37:8

Anxiety and worry are both attacks on the mind intended to keep you from serving the Lord. The enemy uses these weapons to press your faith down so you cannot live in victory. Many people are worriers but don't even realize it. They may call it something else—but it is still worry. In addition to telling you to "fret not," other passages warn you to "take no thought," (Matthew 6:25), "be careful for nothing" (Philippians 4:6), and "cast . . . all your care" (1 Peter 5:7).

Matthew 6:27 says, And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life? The obvious point is that worry is useless. It does not accomplish any good thing. In that case, why worry and why be so anxious?

From the book Ending Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.
