WHY DO I ALWAYS WORRY? 

August 4, 2024  Sam Goins

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3 NLT 

• We tend to experience worry in our minds. 

• We generally experience anxiety in our bodies. 

• Finances 

• Food 

• Fitness          

• Fashion         

• Future  

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry …” Matthew 6:25 NIV 

“… You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24 NIV 

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. …”                    Matthew 6:25 NIV 

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. ...” Matthew 6:34 NIV 

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:26 NIV 

• Concern focuses on challenges and moves you to action. 

• Worry focuses on what’s beyond our control and results in inaction. 

“Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”     Matthew 6:27 NIV 

WHAT YOU WORRY ABOUT MOST 

REVEALS WHERE YOU TRUST GOD THE LEAST. 

“But seek first [God’s] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 NIV 

What You’re Worried About Today … 

1. May never happen. 

91% of their worries did not come true. 

Less than 10% of what you worry about will happen. 

But your worry will rob you of peace 100% of the time. 

2. May happen and won’t be as bad as you thought. 

3. May happen and God will carry you through it.
