Worry has much to do with the future. You may worry about what could happen tomorrow, next month, or next year. Worry is always helpless to do anything about the future. So, give up worry for faith in God. He is your future. God knows all the details of your future. God controls the future. Faith is able to trust God with the future.
God gives hope for the future. Hope is a gift of the Holy Spirit made real in the hearts of all believers. Hope looks to Jesus Christ. He is Lord of life, now and forever. He has authority over your future, that includes your eternal destiny. Trusting him as Lord of your life is trusting the one who loves you and gave himself for you at the cross. His empty tomb is proof for your hope, in life and death.
Don't worry about anything. Trust God's providence with all the details of your life. You trust the one who loves you forever. You trust God, who works all things for your good, according to his purpose in Christ. Worry and trust never live in the same place. Make your heart the place to trust God's everlasting love.
Say good-bye to worry. Say yes to God's love. Understand that love and worry are never companions. If you follow worry, you will follow anxiety and fear. If you follow love, you follow God. Why trust worry, when you can trust God? "Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done" (Philippians 4:6, NLT).
