Welcome to this :Victorious Daily Devotion" in the most amazing and loving name of Jesus Christ! 🙋‍♀️💐💐💐Topic : Worry Brings Negative Emotions; Hope & Belief Brings Positivity & Joy in Life..Philippians 4:6 says, Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.You may not hear the word “fret” much anymore. It’s an older word that just means “worry.” When you fret, you get stressed out, anxious, and impatient. You worry because things are either happening too fast and you can’t handle the change or because things are going too slow and you want God to speed things up.We don’t usually mind waiting if we have hope about it. But when we choose to wait patiently on God instead of fretting, it is a statement of faith. We are making a declaration about God’s character. When we wait patiently, we’re saying that we trust God and have faith in him. We’re humbly admitting our dependence on him.The Bible says in Psalm 37:7, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways” One of the biggest reasons we get stressed out is because we’re constantly comparing ourselves to others. Instead of focusing on God’s love and what he’s done for us, we look at other people, focusing on what they have that we don’t.Comparing ourself to others is never wise. Why? Because God has a plan for your life that’s different from his plan for anyone else. If you’re wishing that God gave you another person’s plan, then you’re going to miss the plan for your life! Comparing leads to fretting. When you compare, you start worrying.But worry is worthless. Any second you spend worrying is wasted, because worry can’t accomplish anything. Worry can’t change the past. It can’t control the future. It’s only going to make our life miserable today. It’s like sitting in a rocking chair, going back and forth, back and forth. You don’t make any progress, and we use a lot of energy that's wasted. Philippians 4:6 says, Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.Worry will never change anything, but prayer will. Lord we would not like to fret this Christmas season because of some trials in our lives, but trust His birth and resurrection and live hopeful and joyful life. ....Gratitude makes you more resistant to stress and increases your happiness and satisfaction.
