The problem with worry
It’s unhelpful,unreasonable and unhealthy.
The antidote. Believe God will take care of me. “The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.” Psalm 23:1
What does a shepherd do? He provides, protects, guides and corrects

How can I let God be my Shepherd?
Accept Jesus as your Lord.

Who is in control of your life?
“Playing God” is the root of worry.
Begin praying about everything!

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
Consider one day at a time.
“So don’t be anxious about tomorrow, God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.” Matthew 6:34
“Give us today our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11
“Your heavenly Father already know perfectly well what you need, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.” Matthew 6:32-33
