Rather than, it robs you, because it takes your happiness, peace of mind, joy, sleep, and so on.

So, what we are we supposed to do with these worries?

Well, the Bible tells us to turn our worries, problems, fears into prayers and supplication.

Philippians 4:6 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

Verse 7 goes on to say, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Having worries or fears should never be a reason to be depressed, rather it should be avenue to talk to your Father, in Heaven.

After all, He has promised to help us, so all we have to do is turn to Him.

Matthew 11: 28 says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Taking your issues to Gos shows that you trust Him and His ability to help you out.

Proverbs 3: 5 - 6 says, "trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Matthew 6:25 -34 adds, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

This week, let us try our best to put our faith and trust in God by turning your fears, worries into prayers!!
