How do you deal with worries?
I watched the Lion King, the Hakuna Matata translated to english , No Worries.
Everyone has worries, an average person has nine plus worries every day.
Dealing with worry is like juggling balls, one is easy ,even two or three . But when it comes to four or five or more we struggle.
If problems cannot be dealt with in the natural then they must be dealt with in the supernatural.
For our battle is not against flesh and blood.
Our only reaction against worry should be to give it to God , not try to juggle it.
So many people have fallen ill with stress and anxiety during this difficult time, God asks for you to cast your cares upon him because we can change nothing by worrying .
Can you leave your cares at the foot of the cross and walk away without looking back?
Hanging on to a problem beyond your control is futile, you have to give it to God and learn to trust in Him.
Why stay awake all night worrying , tell God your problems and go to sleep because God never slumbers or sleeps.
Worry is the opposite of trust, worry will harm you, trust will free you .
Just be still!
God knows your problems, the Lord is your helper, do not fear , what can man do to you?
Jesus talked about worry and anxiety more than a few times and he always reminded people of how much God loved them and how important it is to have God's peace.
We cannot by being anxious add a single hour to our life but we may take a few off it.
Tell God that you will trust in Him , that every worry will be handed over because you don't want to spend your life juggling problems over and over until the joy has gone out of life.
So "DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL BE ANXIOUS FOR ITS SELF . SUFFICIENT FOR THE DAY IS ITS OWN TROUBLE ."
It's hard but let go, give problems to God and walk away. We cannot mentally cope with an over load of worry, so cast away your stress on to God, give him all of lifes problems and He'll be glad you trusted in Him . You don't have to keep reminding God, just trust, pray, give thanks and live the life that God intended for you .
Be Blessed. Hakuna Matata.

There are many places in the bible where the odds have been stacked against God's people.
Enemies outnumbering them on every side , but when God's people turned to him and called on his name
Situations changed.
When things seem impossible remember we worship the God of the impossible.
Our greatest battles are won on our knees where we surrender to God and fully trust him with all of our current problems.
Nothing is impossible for God!
Lay your life at his feet and commit yourself to drawing near to him where you can have shelter beneath his wings.
Over every new problem God commands peace to his children.
"MY PEACE I GIVE YOU."
We should not judge the world or physically fight it , that's for God to do , trust in God and preach the good news is what we are told to do.
He is the Lord over the wind and waves, at his command the earth was formed , so why do we worry about tomorrow because worry is not faith .
JESUS said "THE BLIND SEE , THE LAME WALK , THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR , THE DEAD ARE RAISED."
All of these healings are impossible with man but we worship the God of the impossible who by his grace makes all things possible.
Just believe, just trust and be still in the knowledge that God who has not changed still makes the impossible possible.
Through every storm God brings hope, through every difficult time TRUST and wait for the blessing to come.
God has been shaking the nations over the last year and has affected every aspect of life.
But wait to see what blessings will come to his church, good times always Follow bad. Joseph, David , Noah , Job , Moses , Naaman and even Jesus all had hard times but The God of the impossible turns bad to good. Weeping may endure for a night , but joy comes in the morning.
Don't look at the world trust in God and know in your heart the best is yet to come .
Be blessed in Jesus's name and keep the faith.
