“Worry Replacement Therapy”

Have you heard of “Worry Replacement Therapy?” (WRT). It’s God’s solution to worry and anxiety!

Worry is a habit – a pattern of mental thinking we fall into and becomes hard-wired in our brains. The way to deal with it is to replace it. 

God’s therapy for stress management is to replace worry with prayer. Every time we start worrying we need to start praying. Notice the therapy works when we pray about everything. As soon as we start worrying about anything – no matter how small a thing it may be – we must start praying. That’s how we start to rewire our brains with faith. God’s therapy for stress management is to replace worry with prayer.

But notice what kind of prayer we should pray. It is a prayer that presents God with our request and at the same time thanks him for all he has done.

This isn’t a “misery prayer” where we moan and groan and remind God about how miserable we are. It is gratitude filled prayer. It is praise-filled prayer. It is joyfully expectant prayer. 

When we start to practice God’s Worry Replacement Therapy, our brains will soon start loving the new thoughts that will flow into it from up above – thoughts of a reality that will transform our lives.

Plan to start your Worry Replacement Therapy today. Can you plan something simple for when worrying thoughts come to you, to instantly replace them with a prayer? Is it a little prayer you can carry with you, a prayer to sing, or a simple prayer you can memorize?
