Quit Your Fretting

 


Quit Your Fretting
1) The Cure For Worry Is Faith

     Don't worry; Quit your fretting. Psalm 37:1-8 says fret not three times. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. In other words keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. Wait on Jesus to fix your problems and worry will disappear. Whatever you need just ask for it in Jesus name and Jesus will fix the problem. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name (Jesus), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

     Psalm 37:4 says Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Jeremiah 32:17 tells us that there is nothing too hard with God; Ah Lord God! behold thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm and there is nothing too hard for thee. Jesus said at Matthew 19:26 With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. When man says no, God says yes; Jesus can fix anything by faith. 

     Psalm 37:7 says Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. In other words the cure for fretting and worrying is resting and trusting in Jesus. Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. When you rest, wait, and trust in Jesus, the Holy Spirit will speak to you with answers to your problems. Isaiah 30:21 describes how the Holy Spirit speaks to us saying And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Don't Hurry, Worry, And Bury
Instead Cure Worry By Faith
Worry Ends Where Faith Begins



Keep Moving and Working For Jesus And You Won't Worry
Every Day Pray, Study The Word Of God, And Attend Church When You Can
This Will Allow You To Rest In Jesus Free From Worry

     They say that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Keep moving and working for Jesus and you won't worry. Isaiah 26:3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee (Lord Jesus); because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Proverbs 23:21 says For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Blessed Is The Man Who Is Too Busy To Worry In The Daytime
And Too Sleepy To Worry At Night 

     With Jesus we will find rest and peace to overcome worry. Jesus said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Jesus also said at Mark 6:31 Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.

2) Why Worry When You Can Pray

Worry is a conversation you have with yourself
about things you can not change
Prayer is a conversation you have with God
about things He can change

No one can pray and worry at the same time
When we worry, we aren't praying
When we pray, we aren't worrying

Don't Worry About Temporary Problems In This World
Instead Be Concerned About Where You Will Spend Eternity
After This Momentary Vapour Of Life On This Earth

     A survey asked Americans to say what worries them the most. More than 70% said that they worried about wasting too much time watching TV and chatting for hours on facebook and cellphones. Some worried about not reading enough books. Some worried about failing to attend church and not being active enough in community affairs. But no one was concerned about their personal sins and a future judgment determining where they would spend eternity (either in peaceful heaven with Jesus or in hell tormented forever after rejecting Jesus). Don't be like most people who spend four years in college studying for a career that lasts about fifty years and fail to take five minutes to decide where they will spend eternity. Decide right now to get saved and spend eternity with Jesus in peaceful heaven forever. Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

3) Overcome Worry By Daily Giving Your Problems To Jesus
Because No Matter What Happens We Win With Jesus

     Overcome worry by daily giving your problems to Jesus because no matter what happens we win with Jesus. Psalm 55:22 promises Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee; He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Let go and let God. Every day by faith say I am crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20) and see your problems crucified and destroyed on the cross of Calvary with Jesus that is the same yesterday, to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). 1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus), for He careth for you. And note the payoff stated at 1 Peter 5:10; But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

      Christians don't need to worry because we always win with Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. Because we win with Jesus, step out in faith without worrying by letting your light for Jesus shine everywhere while you travel and preach God's Word wherever God leads you trusting Jesus to keep you safe from danger at all times. Obey Matthew 5:16 that says Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

3) Some Blessed Sayings To Help You Overcome Worry

An entire sea of water can't sink a ship 
unless it gets inside of the ship
Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down
unless you allow it to get inside of you

Birds can fly around your head in the air
Just don't let them make a nest there

You can't change the past
But you can ruin the present
By worrying about the future

Worry is the advanced interest paid on troubles that seldom come

Worry is like a rocking chair
It will give you something to do but it won't get you anywhere

George Muller said
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith
The beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety

4) To Overcome Worry Take No Thought About Your Needs
Just Trust Jesus Daily For Your Needs
And Like The Sparrows Jesus Will Fix Everything And Take Care Of You

      To overcome worry take no thought about your needs. Jesus will provide all your needs if you daily deny sin and walk with Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment. Behold the fowls (birds) of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; Yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature. It's amazing how Jesus feeds the millions of birds each day. Jesus told us that we are much better than birds and that He will feed us daily and take care of all our needs. Jesus told us at Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.

     Matthew 6:28 says And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith. Therefore take no thought saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

A Blessed Poem Encouraging Us Not To Worry 
By Taking No Thought For Our Needs

Just as noisy common sparrows can be found most anywhere
Unto some just worthless creatures; If they perish who would care

Yet our heavenly Father numbers every creature great and small
Caring even for the sparrows; Marking when to earth they fall

If his childrens' hairs are numbered; Why should we be filled with fear
He has promised all that's needful; And in trouble to be near 

Don't Worry And Complain Like A Monk Who Complained For 30 Years
Instead Take No Thought For Your Needs And Thank Jesus For All Your Needs

A monk agreed to live in a monastery for 30 years 
and only say two words every 10 years
Note that a monastery is a home for unwed fathers

After 10 years the monk said Bed Hard
After 20 years the monk said Food Bad
After 30 years the monk said I Quit
After 30 years everyone said I'm glad that monk's gone
All he did was complain for 30 years

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study encourages people everywhere not to fret or worry but to trust Jesus with joy daily to fix all their problems and supply all their needs.
