Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I get quite a few emails these days with people sending me "helps". My son sent me something he found on the internet last night. He said he was thinking of me and knew I was sitting here on the computer just doing my usual worrying. He thought maybe this might help. I thought some of you might get something out of it too.
Worry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This article is a discussion of the mental attitude sin of Worry. We are not dealing with those natural concerns which all of us face in life when things are not going right, such as when someone is ill, or absent, or in danger.
What we are talking about is Worry as a failure to understand God's provision for us and His promises, failure to "cast our care on Him", because He cares for us, resulting in unnecessary soulish torment or anxiety or a disquieting and painful state of mind involving undue concern over something in life.
Such worry always anticipates the worst, and so becomes apprehension or anticipation of danger, misfortune, trouble, or uncertainty. Worry is a state of restlessness and agitation, producing mental disturbance, uneasiness, foreboding, anxiety, and painful uncertainty.
Worry is a destroyer of the soul. If unchecked, it results in great anxiety or even mental illness. You get a warning first, often with a physical problem. Worry in the mind causes shock to the body, Prov 12:25.
Bad news causes worry, Jer 49:23ff.
Worry causes hysteria, Lk. 10:41. All people have areas in which they are prone to worry.
People cause worry. People are always worried about other people. Worriers have to have an object, 1 Sam 10:2. You can always find an object if you really want to worry.
Economic disaster is a cause of worry, Jer. 44:16.
Worry leads to backsliding and the sin unto death, Ezek 4:15-17,12:18-19, Isa 57:11.
Sin causes worry. People worry about sin which causes guilt, Ps 38:18.
Worry is a sin, Rom 14:23. Christians are commanded to stop worrying, Lk 12:29.
Worry does not solve problems, Matt. 6:25,34.
Worry distracts from Bible teaching, Matt 13:22; Luke 8:14.
Therefore, blessing from God includes freedom from worry.
Jer 17:7-8, "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord."
This verse teaches the difference between a growing and a mature believer.
Worry is forbidden, Phil 4:6-7.
Ask God in prayer for anything. When you get Bible teaching under your belt you won't worry so much anyway,

Ps 55:22;
Isa 26:3-4;
1 Pet 5:7.

Therefore, whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall.

No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.
