Worrying and Fretting

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

James 4:14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Trust God regardless what is going to happen today and tomorrow.

This type of "self-examination" is often resulted from our fallen state, consisting of sin, fear, worry, disappointments, sorrows, remorse, bitter memories and self-accusations that are very temporal.

Fretting about something........... I have learned a long time ago that "worrying" is sin and that my HEART is showing that I do NOT have FAITH in God's Character in my life. I understood that fretfulness can rob me of my peace and joy of Christ. In our sinful society, I am easy prey to fretfulness when my gaze is fixed circumstances rather than upon God.

Philippians 4:6
(The Message) Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

(New Living Translation) Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

(NIV)Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

(KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

(NKVJ) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Knowing the Scriptures and knowing God will should cure my fretting spirit by giving me peace spirit.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
