Let's face it, we often worry about things that we probably have no control over. But does worrying even help? The answer is No. Maybe you've lost a job or you haven't paid rent or worse, you've lost a loved one. Most people tend to start worrying and getting anxious instead of finding a solution to the pending problem and that's where we go wrong.
Phillipians 4:6-7 says, ''Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus...''
God gave us a clear example of how to go about things when we get into trouble. Relax first, take it easy then go to God in prayer and tell him everything that is going on in your life. He Himself has promised that once we make our requests known to him, he will carry our burdens and we'll experience a peace that no human brain can comprehend. Isn't that beautiful? So why carry the burden by yourself in the form of worrying while there is someone who is willing to carry the burden on your behalf?
Worrying doesn't solve anything. Instead it causes more harm than good. When you overthink, your brain tends to look at the worst that can happen from a situation forfeiting the good and positive and the end of this is depression, anxiety disorder and other mental health issues.

I want to challenge you today that don't carry the heavy burden by yourself. There is a helper by the name of Jesus Christ who has promised that "He will never leave nor forsake us."(Hebrews 13:5)
"Draw near to him and he will draw near to you." (James 4.8)
"His name is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are saved!" (Proverbs 18:10)
Psalms 55:22 "Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall."
I hope you found this impactful, have a blessed day ahead!
