Overthinking Part 2 : Fretting and Worry

[steve morrow]

THERE  IS  NO  WORKS   ---   PRAYER  AND  SUPPLICATION  WITH  THANKSGIVING

 

JAMES 1:5  if any of you lack wisdom let him --ask  GOD--  that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him 

--1:6-- but let him --ask-- in faith nothing wavering for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed 

--1:7-- for let not that man think that he shall receive anything of  THE  LORD 

--1:8-- a double minded man is unstable in all his ways 

 

LUKE 8:21  and  HE  answered and said unto them  MY  mother and  MY  brethren are these which hear the word of  GOD  and do it 

PSALM 119:155  --SALVATION--  is far from the wicked ---for they seek not my statutes---

1 PETER 1:15  but as  HE  which hath called you is holy so be you holy in all manner of conversation 

--1:6-- because it is written ---be you holy for I am holy 

 

ROMANS 1:18  for the wrath of  GOD  is revealed from heaven against all --ungodliness-- and unrighteousness -- of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness 

LUKE 21:34  and take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcome with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that day come upon you unawares

--21:35-- for as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth 

--21:36-- watch you therefore ---and pray always--- that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the son of man 

 

               **************************************************************************                                               

JOHN 5:28  marvel not at this for the hour cometh in the which all that are in the graves shall hear  HIS  voice 

--5:29-- and shall come forth they that ---have done good--- unto the resurrection of life --- and that have done evil--- unto the resurrection of damnation

1 JOHN 3:10  in this the children of  GOD  are manifest and the children of the devil -- whosoever --doeth not righteousness is not of  GOD  neither he that loveth not his brother 

               **************************************************************************

 

2 THESSALONIANS 1:11  wherefore also we pray always for you that our  GOD  would count you worthy of this calling and fulfil all the good pleasure of  HIS  goodness and the work of faith with power 

 

HEBREWS 2:1  therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

"its all small stuff"

As compared to-eternity, and getting my bags packed.
It is small stuff, unless you're looking through the enemies magnifying glass. I noticed when I get all caught up on my orders, have a dozen cabinets ready to ship when ordered, completed sufficient honey do's to give my wife attention, then the enemy creeps in and the battle for the mind begins. I have found I do better under pressure, when I'm too busy to contemplate, introspecting any every what if's. Work is for me the best narcotic to keep my mind busy with some/any project. That causes me to have to squeeze in time to post here, and inevitably that's when I find a word to share, one finger two finger speed typing:) When I do find myself slipping down the rabbit hole, I bombard my mind with LIGHT, God's light, his promises, faithfully recalling his faithfulness, and he is my dad/Abba. Your posted scriptures River, are just a few of the 'spiritual ammunition' I use when I detect hostile thoughts. The verse that says 'take every thought captive' is mucho importante, for sure. Examine them, the source, and confess/agree the light vs darkness. It will become habit, and it works.

"I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you"

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness      tomorrow will worry about itself.....

Very much agree. But we go forth is joy and a spirit to be victorious....not running from shadows:)

I keep persisting, in my resisting, not listening to his twisting, but insisting he flee...
The sword of the spirit, the shield of faith.
