Worry can be more than just our own mental battle. It can also be a spiritual battle. The Armor of God is used in the Bible as a metaphor to show us how we can protect ourselves from these spiritual attacks. Taking up the shield of faith is one way we are to do this. Worry is having doubt in what we hope for and cannot see.
The Bible tells us faith is the exact opposite. Faith is having confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Pray for God to give you more faith in Him to do what’s best and fulfill His promises to you. A shield is something you need to pick up and trust it will protect you. So it is with faith in God.
Take up the shield of faith and extinguish all the flaming arrows of worry on this “Not Gonna Worry” Wednesday.
