The news of the day can easily draw us into worrying about the state of our nation, lives and those we love. A noble attempt to simply stay informed often leaves us miserable and afraid.
Instead of allowing worry to fester about worldly events, immediately turn your concerns into prayers. For example, if you hear of an impending sickness outbreak, pray for the people that are infected, that they would come to find physical and spiritual healing and turn to Jesus through their pain and suffering. Doing this puts your mind in a proactive position rather than a reactive one. It also reminds you God is ultimately in charge and you are not, which should help you let go of any worthless worry.
Pray about current events on this “Not Gonna Worry” Wednesday.
