The Bible says in Romans 8:1-2, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”

Worry is one of the problems we are facing today. Sometimes it is obvious: You are worried about your family, you are worried about your career, you are worried about your health. At other times, worry is a little trickier to identify: You are anxious about the future or you are unable to control a situation. Today our list of worries is endless. Worry has not only physical consequences but also spiritual ones. Worry interferes with God’s Spirit in our lives. Despite all these worries, God’s love for us remains unfailing.

Look at great heroes in the Bible such as David and Peter who had their fair shares of worry over failure but whose situations God used to bring them to a place of honour. Your challenge today is not a crisis; it is a friend! A man can be poor in spirit and yet be a friend of Jesus Christ, a man can be sick in body and yet be a candidate of heaven. Hence, when we are tempted to worry about our situation, we should remember that God’s love for us never fails. Your current situation is a mere stopping interval, a preparation for the future God has planned for you.

Take your worries to the Lord in prayer. Putting your future—all your worries in His hands—is the mark of a true Christian. When you turn your worries into prayer and hand over your heavy load to Him, then the peace of the Lord which transcends all understanding will guide your life (Philippians 4: 6-7). Ask God to turn your worries into success and guide you to stay focused on your divine purpose.
