Replace Despair with Hope

Worry is always born from a place of despair; choosing to view our worrisome situation as hopeless, discouraging, causing anguish. This is not only a depressing way to live but useless and irrational because nobody can really know the future outcome of any situation. It is even more irrational if you are a Christian, because you have so many promises of hope in Christ - hope in salvation, hope in forgiveness, hope in wisdom, home in freedom, hope in peace, etc. Maybe the question isn't what you hope in but Who you hope in. Find your source of hope and look at your circumstances through that lens. Replace despair with hope and there will be no cause for worry on this "Not Gonna Worry" Wednesday.
