Worry is a squatter; you must evict it.
In certain situation, if a house lies empty long enough, whoever likes can occupy it. Worry does that too. It roams around looking for an empty mind, then moves in. Has worry taken up residence in your mind today? Is it there when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night?
As a follower of Christ you have the authority to serve worry an eviction notice and it must leave. The only thing that enables it to stay is your ignorance of that truth. When your mind is occupied with God's Word, worry sees a "no vacancy" sign and moves on.
Paul writes: "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2Co 10:3-5 NKJV).
The weapons God has given you to fight with are greater than the fears you face. But you must know your weapons, keep them in good repair and be able to use them.
"Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: 'Because you speak this word, behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire, and ([your worries] wood, and it shall devour them'" (Jer 5:14 NKJV). When you believe God's Word with all your heart and begin to speak it in the face of your worries, "it shall devour them."

Thanks Angela for the comment.
So true Jack, there's no room for worry in our lives. When it hits, we have to hit back and become positive immediately. The longer you let worry linger, the more depressed you will become. "Have faith in God." Thanks for sharing. Liked and Shared.
