Worrier or Warrior?

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.” Philippians 4:6 NLT

“Don’t worry about it!” We’ve all heard that from family or friends but for many, myself included, it’s not much help because of worry’s power to pacify and immobilize us as victims of our circumstances.

Breaking free from worry’s grip as this verse suggests, requires a redirection of our energies channeled into an offensive strategy of prayer, in which we begin to contend in faith to overcome the things we fear.

Worrier or Warrior? It basically comes down to a choice we must make between continuing as a victimized worrier in passivity or rising up as a victorious warrior in prayer.
