Hostage: Worry

We all worry.  It’s a fact of life.  Some of us worry more than others, but the truth remains that everyone struggles in this area of their life.

In fact, I think that some worry is actually good.  It is good to worry a little about making good grades.  You should be concerned about your job and what it takes to maintain it..  All worry is not bad.

Worry becomes an issue when it consumes you.  When it’s all that you think about.  It holds you hostage by causing you to not focus on your relationship with God.  Romans 8:38 reminds us that “our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away.”

I don’t know about you, but it excites me greatly that God loves me unconditionally.  Even if I worry too much!
