"You can worry yourself to death, but not to life."
Someone has said "Worry is a thin stream of fear that trickles through the mind, which, if encouraged, will cut a channel so wide that all other thoughts will be drained out."
Worry cripples our thinking and can shorten our life. Worry is not from faith and therefore it is sin. It is distrusting God...His promises and His providence.
The answer: Fill your heart and your life with Him.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death.--Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years of life will be added to you.--Proverbs 9:10-11
Jesus came to give us abundant life...His truth sets you free.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.--John 10:10
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”--John 8:31-32
