The root of worry

Philippians 4:6 (NLT) “Don’t worry about anything: instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done”

One of the things that make people to lose out in their faith walk is worry.  But worry does not just happen, it has a root cause. What is it?

“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness

therein is a breach in the spirit”

The root of worry is found in perverse or contrary speech because it causes a breach in the spirit.

A breach is a rupture, a gap in a wall or a fortification when this is done what follows is worry. 

Proverbs 19:1,3 (amp) “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity then a rich man who is perverse in his speech and is a [self – confident] fool… 

The foolishness of man subverts his way [ruins his affairs]; then his heart is resentful and frets against the Lord”

Confession:

I cast all my cares, anxieties, worries upon the Lord for He cares for me. I refuse to take up any care or worry.
