Resist Worry and Choose Peace
“If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
— Luke 12:28, KJV
Worry whispers, “What if?”
Peace declares, “Even if, God is still good.”
If worry has become a reflex, God is inviting you to retrain your spirit not through willpower, but through surrender.
You Were Not Made to Worry
Worry is not a personality trait it’s a thief.
It steals your focus, your peace, your joy, and your trust.
God says:
“Never say it is your nature to worry.”
Why? Because He made you in His image.
And God does not worry.
When you choose worry, you're operating outside your divine design.
No wonder it feels so heavy.
So consuming.
So unrelenting.
But peace true, soul-deep peace is your inheritance in Christ.
A Better Exchange
God offers a divine trade:
-
Your burdens → His strength
-
Your fear → His rest
-
Your worry → His unshakable peace
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7, KJV
This isn’t denial. It’s faith.
Not a fake smile but a true surrender.
You don’t have to figure it out.
You just have to trust the One who already has.
Why Peace Matters More Than You Think
Worry:
-
Chokes faith
-
Distorts perspective
-
Shrinks your view of God
Peace:
-
Clarifies your vision
-
Anchors your soul
-
Expands your trust
Jesus said:
“Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
— John 14:27, KJV
You can resist worry when you choose to rest in His promises instead of your predictions.
A Gospel of Peace
The ultimate peace doesn’t come from circumstances, but from reconciliation with God.
If you're weary and wondering how to find true rest, begin here:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23, KJV
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8, KJV
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
— Romans 10:9, KJV
Jesus took your sin, your shame, and your worry so you could walk in His peace.
Conclusion
Worry will always try to reenter.
But you now know the truth:
It has no place in the heart of a child of God.
So the next time fear knocks…
-
Lay it down.
-
Choose peace.
-
Rest in Him.
He’s not just telling you to stop worrying.
He’s giving you the power to overcome it.
Resist worry. Choose peace.
You’re getting better at it because He’s walking with you through it.
