Worry is one of the emotions that makes a person to think and get afraid or sad about certain things that are real or imaginary. What makes a person worry?. Well, this question can be answered in a lot of ways.
Let us take two contrasting examples. Let us assume a person who is very poor. What would be his worries?. Certainly he will have some worries like how would he meet each day's expenses,How will he clear his debts, and most of his worries would be about the future.
On the contrast let us assume a person who is very rich. He too would have some worries about gaurding his wealth, problems in family etc..
Now the question is what causes worry?. Worry comes when we lead our lives comparing with others. When we benchmark our lives on others, we lose our individuality and start worrying about things that would differentiate us from others. Then we lose our inward peace. Then what else shall we do?.
Let us take the example of birds, these birds never worry about anything. They dont worry about shelter, food or anything. They get up early in the morning, sing and move on. Once the day comes to an end, they get into their nests peacefully and sleep. This is the best example of life without worry. But as human beings how shall we live like that?
Well, I think we cannot and never will be ableo to live like that by ourselves, because our nature is like that. We are born with worries. It is not something that we acquire. The only hope is that only person can help us to live without worry. That is GOD. We need to trust and believe in him that he has the superior control over everything and HE does everything for our well being. Goodness is God's nature.
How do we trust in God?. First we should belive that he exists and surrender ourselves to him.
How do God know about worry?. He knows exactly our worries because he took human form through his son Jesus christ, who went through all the worries that we face, and even worries that our little mind cannot comprehend. Jesus Loves you. Surrender your to him today. He will guide you in this world without worries.
Matthew 6:25 to 34
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
The above passage tells us that worry is out of our control. We cannot do anything about it ourselves. Just nothing!. The only way is: Trust Jesus. Try to trust him today. You will see a change in your lives.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I come to your feet humbly. I have too many worries in my life. I cannot share these worries with anyone. My life is in a miserable condition. Please take control of my life from this moment. Guide me in all my ways. Amen.

Life meaning
Yesterday, I posted a question "What is life?".Let me try to give an answer that is very much according to me, and may differ from what you think. According to me "Life" is something that lets us to exist today,this moment when we are reading this.Then shall we say "Life" is all what we need to exist in this earth?. Yes, this is the fact.The moment "Life" is out of us, then we become mere objects like all the non-living things on this earth.
If "Life" is the most important thing on our existence, then how important it is to "live" it to the fullest extent. We can live only once in this world. No one can change it. It is not in our control as "How long we can live in this world", but what is in our control is "How we can live in this world".It is "we" who either make or break "Life" in the brief period which we live on this earth.
That is all that I have for today...Let me meet you with some more thoughts soon!. I welcome your comments.Thanks! Happy reading!
