Why worry?

I wrote this as an email because I felt like God wanted me to share some things I have been reading...so then I realized I should post it also....

Some of my favorites that I keep on my heart at all times…to remind me to TRUST….

…Then I will answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in Your word. Psalm 229:42

…Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul. Psalm 43:8

….Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

…You will keep in perfect peace all who trust You, whose thoughts are fixed on You. Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock. Isaiah 26: 3-4

…Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and also in Me. John 14:1

…May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (I don’t remember..lol)

…But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourself. For I will give words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. Luke 21: 13-15

…Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you can not do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Luke 12: 25-27

…Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You. Psalm 9:10

…They cried to you and were saved; in You they trusted and were not disappointed. Psalm 22:5

…But I trust in You, O Lord; I say "You are my God" Psalm 31:14

…When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56:3

…He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7

Now we all know this one but really think about what it means…its amazing what the world would feel like if we all lived this out…
…Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preservers. Love never fails…
And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13: 4-8,13

…Therefore it was necessary for Jesus to be in every respect like us, His brothers and sisters, so that He could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. He then could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since He Himself has gone through suffering and temptation, He is able to help us when we are being tempted. Hebrews 2:16-18

And what could be better than to focus on this….
…He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said "I am making all things new!" Then He said "write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true. He said to me "It is done. I AM the Alpha and the Omega the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of Life". Revelations 21:4-6

…So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard or we may drift away from it. Hebrews 2:1

Pray that this brings peace to you heart and joy to your spirit.
