Fear and worry are not gentlemen. You give them an inch and they'll take it all. God has a way of helping us clean up our hearts and dump out the stuff we didn't even know we had a problem with until He showed us. We have all been through rough stuff in our lives, that's...life, I guess. I don't know if we all have areas that bring fear and worry, but because of past experiences, I have those areas. It has been a long and anxious journey for me, I can be real hard to teach. I have head knowledge, but I can''t seem to convert it to heart knowledge. God doesn't give up. I think I'm coming out into the light on this one. At least in the area of finances. Our business may have to file bankruptcy. My dh isn't going to give up without a fight, though. He is a man of God and I admire him greatly. But whatever happens, it helps to know that my husband is seeking the Lord and open to any leading He may give. God is good. So very good. I found a bible study on worry. It's geared more for teenagers, but I'm enjoying the constant repetition of verses. I like the way it reinforces what the word says about worry and fear. It's true, if God cares enough to take care of the sparrows, won't He much more care for you? Can you get that in your heart? Can you really know it? Believe it. It's time to start living what I say I believe.

Good post here.
Worry is a waste, we need to pray not worry and God will take care of our worries.
I know many who worry about every thing, always wasting their days with worry.I do not worry, there is no need for worry if we pray.

My BSF notes says this:
When we *seek FIRST* the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, God Promises that all these things will be given (Matthew 6:25-34) to us.
Worry is NOT righteousness, but UNBELIEF, which is SIN.
YIKES. How many times a day do I 'stress out' (a modern term for worry)??? This is very timely. Thank you.

I'm so sorry about your business and your husband's accident. When I'm going through rough times, I always remember what my grandmother taught me - "When God closes a door, He opens a window". Remembering that has always comforted me and seen me through my worries.
God bless, Kim
