Worry and anxiety is a form of fear. And there are many things we can worry about like relationships, jobs, health, money, kids, etc. Jesus told us not to worry because sometimes we can let those things determine what we do and don’t do. To live with courage and to fear less, we can’t let our worries and fears determine our life because sometimes those voices of fear & worry are lying to you. Worries and anxiety can sometimes cause you to believe some things about yourself and your life that are not true. God knows we have fears and worries and He gives us a way forward. We need to replace our worries, anxiety, & fears with God’s truths. We need to listen to Him & learn God’s truths and then keep remembering them.
