Last week I wrote a couple of times about the subject of worry. Today I want to write about our responsibility in dealing with our bad habit of worry. There is no doubt that it is God's power that brings us success in our battle against worry but He wants us to do our part too. Paul wrote to the Corinthians and said: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)I interpret this to mean that we are being encouraged to discipline our minds -not allowing our minds to entertain those things that will harm us and take us away from God. As a child of God I am totally in his hands, but doing my very best is a part of the deal. If worry (or any other thought pattern) is a problem for you then fight the battle and win the victory. Renounce the harmful thoughts, give them to Jesus and turn your mind to beautiful things.
Have a great day.
