How do I stop worrying?

By Ricardo Zaal, Founder and Lead Pastor ·

How do I stop worrying? - Fountain of Grace International

It is 6am and the worry is already there. Maybe it came back from yesterday, or maybe it arrived fresh just now with the first cup of coffee. Either way, it sits with you before the day has even started. You know thinking about it again will not fix it. But stopping feels impossible. Jesus knew that feeling too, and he did not leave you there.

"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."

- Matthew 6:34 (KJV)

Pick one worry that has been circling. Just one. Every time it comes back today, say out loud, 'That one belongs to tomorrow.' Your own voice saying it makes it real. It sounds too simple to work. Try it anyway.

What would today look like if you only carried today?

God, letting go feels risky. But I am tired of carrying tomorrow before it arrives. Help me trust You with what I cannot see yet, and help me live fully inside today. Amen.
