11 <\/sup>For I know the thoughts and<\/em> plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and<\/em> plans for welfare and<\/em> peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12 <\/sup>Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and<\/em> heed you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 29:11-12 (Amplified Bible<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worry never changes anything. It actually impedes your faith and ties God’s hands to help in your situation. It does not bring any forward progress. Worry is fear not faith. If you really want to see things change, worry is not the way. Faith in God is the way. If something is consuming your thoughts and producing fear then you need to stop worrying and pray! Start praying the Word over your situation. Communicate with God! Turn fear into faith. Resist the devil and he will flee. Your time will be better spent in prayer than in worry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am tempted to worry about a situation or circumstance I will instead turn to God in prayer. I will build my faith by praying in the spirit over the situation. I will pray the Word and not fear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
