Replace Worry With Prayer


Listen Later

Anytime you feel tempted to worry, rise up and begin to worship God and pray. Faith is action. Faith is not wishful thinking.

Jesus was a man of action. He walked constantly in the word of God. If you believe the word that says, rejoice in the Lord always, thank God in all circumstance, pray without ceasing and make melody in your heart to God, then you will wak in those instructions.

Worry is a habit and prayer is a habit. Just as God has not given us a spirit of fear, He has not given us a spirit of worry.

The Bible says that fear has to do with punishment and torment. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of freedom and liberty

2 Corinthians 3:17Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Worry is a choice and prayer, praise, worship and thanksgiving is a choice.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 6-7, NKJV).

The reason why the word of God says pray without ceasing, make melody in your hearts to God, rejoice in the Lord always, thank God in all circumstance, let the word of God dwell richly in you in all wisdom, meditate on the word and think the word is because what you allow in your mind can make or destroy you. As a man thinketh so is He (Proverbs 23:7 KJV) Thinking wrong negative discouraging thoughts is very harmful to your emotional, psychological, mental and spiritual well being.

Philippians 4:8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
2 Timothy 2:7Think about what I am saying, because the Lord will enable you to understand it all.
Joshua 1:8This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Decide today to not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. Decide today to partner with the Holy Spirit and not reject the Holy Spirit. Rejecting the thoughts of God and the word of God is submission to death and destruction of mind and darkness of soul. Darkness of soul manifests as torment, emotional and physical illnesses.

Reject worry, fear and every thought that is contrary to the word of God.

May the Holy Spirit enable you and help you as you meditate on the word of God and worship God. Amen.
