Why Worry And Stress?

Why worry when God's got you?

Why Worry And Stress?
Alexandra Lynn Mura

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning and all your thoughts flood your mind. Get bills paid, run errands, work problems, ect. I don't know about you all, but for me this happens daily. Before my day begins I'm already worrying and stressing. Why do we do this though? Often times we worry and stress about stupid and trivial things we can not even control. God tells us that we should not worry. He tells us to cast our worries on Him, to trust Him, and He will provide.

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." Something that is so hard to do is let go of our problems, and let God take care of them. I think that we sometimes forget that God truly cares about us. I believe that deep down we do know that God cares for us, but we get so caught up with life, worrying, and wanting things to go the way we want them that we loose sight of this. God loves us so much that He wants us to let Him take care of our problems, and love Him.

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your Go will be with you wherever you go." God wants us to trust Him because He loves us and is always with us. Even though it seems like there are times God isn't with us He really is, we just aren't listening. Things won't always go the way we want them to, or in the time that we want them to. We just have to trust that God has us, and is with us all the days of our lives.

2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." God wants to bless us and give us the best. I know a problem I have is that i question God. "Do you really know what your doing? Why don't you just tell me what's going to happen? Why isn't this going the way I want it to?" All this questioning keep me from my blessings God wants to give me, and wastes my time when I could be using that time to give God glory. God loves us, and wants to bless us.

We worry and stress about stupid and trivial things that we can't control. We need cast our worries on God, trust Him, and He will provide. Things won't always go the way we want, or in the time that we want them to. We just need to let go, and let God. He knows what's best, and with God the outcome to our worries will be much better with Him than what we could ever do on our own.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
