I Refuse To Worry
I Refuse To Worry
Lord, I love Your Word. YOU said in 1 Peter 5:6-7, to humble myself under Your Mighty Hand, that in due time you will exalt me, CASTING THE WHOLE OF MY CARE [ALL MY ANXIETIES, ALL MY WORRIES, ALL MY CONCERNS, ONCE FOR ALL] ON YOU FOR YOU CARE FOR ME AFFECTIONATELY AND WATCHFULLY! You love me. So now I will obey You and cast them on YOU. YOU are the Performer. You watch over Your Word to PERFORM it (Jeremiah 1:12), so I don’t have to. You are the Performer and I am the Believer. So I will take my job seriously and BELIEVE YOU.
YOU told me in Philippians 4:6, “Do not fret, worry, or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.” So I will do the FIRST part right now–refuse to worry or fear! (Do it!) Now I’ll do the SECOND part: make my requests and wants known to You. (Do it!) Now I TAKE HOLD of this answer BY FAITH! As FAR as I’m concerned it is DONE according to Mark 11:22-24. Then You said in Philippians 4:7, (AMP:) that God’s peace (shall be mine, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content ... that peace) which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. So now I receive that peace which is guarding my mind and thoughts in Christ Jesus. I say that the force of peace is working mightily in me. So I REFUSE to worry or fear!
You told me in Matthew 6 to stop being perpetually uneasy, anxious and worried about my life, what I will eat, drink or wear, and not to worry or be anxious nor take any thought for tomorrow, for it has it’s own worries. BUT I am to seek FIRST the Kingdom of God - Your way of doing things and Your righteousness, then ALL these things will be GIVEN to me. So I will obey and refuse to be worried or anxious—I’ll take NO thought, but seek FIRST how YOU want me to do things! You have the battle plan, so show me what to do and I’ll do it. It’s easy!
Devil, I command you to Back Off! I will not accept your lies, fear or torment any longer! The Blood of Jesus is against you! I say that it shall me for me as GOD has spoken—for I believe God!
Lord, in John 16:33, You said that You told me these things so that IN YOU I might have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world I would have tribulation, trials….and frustration; but that I was to be of Good Cheer, to take courage, be confident, certain, undaunted, for You have overcome the world. You have deprived it of it’s power to harm me and You have conquered it for me! Thank You!!!
I PRAYED AND MADE MY REQUESTS KNOWN TO YOU, LORD, WITH THANKSGIVING, AND I OBEY YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. I HAVE TURNED IT OVER TO YOU. YOU’RE THE PERFORMER! SO NOW I ENTER INTO YOUR REST, AND I DECLARE THAT I DON’T HAVE A CARE. I REFUSE TO CARRY IT! I REFUSE TO WORRY OR FEAR! I AM CARE-FREE! I’M WORRY FREE! I’M NOT GOING TO LOSE A WINK OF SLEEP! I’VE TURNED IT LOOSE! I’VE TURNED IT OVER TO YOU, AND LEAN INTO YOU! YOU’RE TAKING CARE OF IT. YOU’RE WORKING IT OUT WHILE I’M RESTING AND REJOICING WITH JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY... RECEIVING THE OUTCOME OF MY FAITH! HA! HA! HA! I TRUST IN YOU AND WALK IN YOUR LOVE AND STRENGTH, FOR YOU CARE FOR ME AFFECTIONATELY AND WATCHFULLY!
