What exactly is worry, and why do human beings tend to fall into its grasp? Worry is compulsively imagining situations for which there isn’t a suitable answer or solution. Worrying is agonizing over what should be done to solve an issue.
Worry can annoy others who are subject to the worrier’s moody attitude. Worry is impossible to cover up because the mind is preoccupied with obsessive thoughts and concerns. Worrying has an emotional and mental effect on those in its vicinity.
Have you noticed that when you worry about a situation indefinitely, your feelings react as if that situation has actually happened? The initiator of worry is fear of what you think will probably happen. Jesus cautioned that worrying is unproductive. Ask yourself, “Is God capable of managing this desperate situation?”
Our task is to be patient and wait for him to reveal to us what he will do when the time is right.

I
tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to
eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing? Look at the birds
in the air….Your Heavenly Father takes care of them.
