Worry is the sin of distrusting the promise and providence of God, and yet it is a sin that Christians commit perhaps more frequently than any other. The English term “worry” comes from an old German word meaning “to strangle, or choke”. That is exactly what worry does; it is a kind of mental and emotional strangulation, which probably causes more mental and physical afflictions than any other single cause.Do not be anxious, or stop being anxious (present imperative), because God is our Master.

Phil 4:6-7  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Do we really believe God’s Word is true? Do we really believe God’s Word is sufficient?  How do we look at our problems, conflicts, decisions and other people through the lens of Scripture and how exactly do we apply God’s Word and biblical principles to the various situations in our lives?We need to be equipped in the church to disciple one another and to effectively counsel people who are struggling with either their own sins and its consequences, or the consequences of sins committed against them.  This ministry as we saw last night, is not restricted to pastors or elders or leaders, but is the ministry and responsibility of the whole church and all its members.
