Give all your worried to him, because he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7
Worry…makes you forget who’s in charge. And when the focus is on yourself… - you worry. You become anxious about many things. You worry that:
Your co-workers won’t appreciate you.
Your leaders will overwork you.
Your superintendent won’t understand you.
Your congregation won’t support you.
With time, your agenda becomes more important than God’s. You’re more concerned with presenting self than pleasing him. And you may even find yourself doubting God’s judgment….
God has gifted you with talents. He has done the same to your neighbor. If you concern yourself with your neighbor’s talents, you will neglect yours. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both.
