He Told Me Not to Worry

Hey friends,
I pray these words will encourage you today.

I woke up with worry and stress covering my mind like a big heavy quilt. I came to work with a permanent look of distress plastered on my forehead and I began making my “to do” list wondering, “how will I have the strength to do these things today?” Then, on the radio I heard a soft melody play accompanied with these words:

You’re calling me to lay aside the worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind and find a hiding place
Worthy, Worthy

I open up my heart and let my spirit worship Yours
I open up my mouth and let a song of praise come forth
Worthy, Worthy

Of a childlike faith, and of my honest praise
And of my unashamed love
Of a Holy life, and of my sacrifice
And of my unashamed love
You’re calling me to lay aside the worries of my day
To quiet down my busy mind and find a hiding place
Worthy, Worthy

With eyes closed, I felt my worry slowly melting away. The look of distress turned to peace. And then I listened to it 5 more times.  It was like I couldn’t soak up the words enough! And each time I listened the words became more real and my heart no longer felt like someone had a grip on it. I took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and smiled. You should look this song up if you don’t know it. It is titled “Unashamed Love.” It is sung by Jason Morant.
I hope and pray that God takes hold of your mind and heart today. Don’t let worry win. He is in control.

"...but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be give to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself..." Matthew 6: 33-34
