The Creator
Worry is our attempt to control outcomes and situations. This makes worry an idol in our lives. We stop seeking God first and give ownership of our mind and emotions over to the desire to have more and be more. Since having and being more is an endless desire, this leaves us in a perpetual state of worry.
Worry hinders our ability to obey God and therefore we sprint towards things that we feel will alleviate the worry. We make our own plans. Plans that involve things that make us feel safe and secure, numbing the worry that lurks around our thoughts. Bottom line: worry happens when we seek the created rather than the Creator. God wants us to seek Him, not money, popularity, success, family, or possessions. He states over and over again that He is all that we need. He wants us to be content with what He has given us rather than always striving for more. We are to seek Him first, to share our concerns with him first, to seek His direction, His next step.
So how do we give Him our concerns? How do we live seeking Him first? It all starts by spending time, alone, undisturbed, in His presence. Not in your car, not while exercising; in solitude.
Take 5 minutes a day and find a quiet place. Begin by simply talking to God about your worries. Be specific if you have to. Ask Him to bring to mind all the ways that He has sustained you in the past. Let Him built trust in your heart. Then ask Him for His peace. Lastly, just sit. Think about His greatness. Listen. Thank Him in advance for His perfect peace, His goodness, and for the ways that He will provide.

When we place our focus on the “what-if’s” and “how’s”, our lives become consumed with worry. The Bible tells us that we don’t have to live exhausted and defeated by the concerns of this world. This plan will help us identify the root of our worry and will help direct us away from worry and move towards a life of peace and faith in Christ.
