NEEDLESS PAIN Matt.6:25-27, Jn14:27.
Why worry when you can pray? The hymn writer
observed,"What a great privilege we forfeit, what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!" Prayer helps to
stir up and increase our faith. When faith comes in, fear, anxiety, unbelief
and worry will jump out. When the enemy thrusts the arrow of worry and anxiety
to you, the solution is for you to arise and pray to God. You shouldn't worry
about the future when you have the Alpha and Omega as your God. You shouldn't
worry about what you will eat drink or wear if the Great Provider is with you.
You shouldn't overly worry about the enemy if the Lord of hosts is for you. If
you worry, it is needless pain and it amounts to sin.
