Worry Is Killing Me
Sunday at Cross Point Nashville I continued the series “Paralyzed” by talking about the ‘fear of the unknown’. You can check out the CP video or audio podcast HERE to listen to the entire message.
We looked at Matthew 6 and the one question Jesus asked in verse 27 has been totally messing with me. He asked,
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Think about that question. Can anyone here honestly say the time they’ve spent in fear, anxiety, or worry has added any value to their life?
This particular word “worrying” translated in the Greek literally means “to be drawn in different directions.” Worry pulls us apart. I read last week where a John Hopkins University doctor said “We do not know why it is that worriers die sooner than non-worriers, but that is a fact.”
The reason worriers die before non-worriers is because we are inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear, worry and anxiety is not true to the way we’ve been wired. Everything about you from your tissue… to your brain cells… to your soul is constructed by our Maker for faith and not fear. To live by fear is to live against the reality of your creation.
I thought we could spend some time today just listening and praying for each other.Where are you tempted to live by fear instead of faith? What are you anxious, worried, or fearful about today?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. – Philippians 4:6.

I’m afraid I may end up crippled with arthritis like several in my family.
I’m VERY energetic but live with much pain, and I see my mother who can hardly walk, along with several aunts with their crippled, painful hands and feet, and I don’t want to end up that way.

Phil 4:6 is one of the few passages in the Bible that come to mind often in my everyday life, because I am a worrier! I know I shouldn’t worry, should just put my trust in God and go about my life. But sadly, knowing that just makes me worry about whether worry is going to kill me, lol. It’s like a vicious cycle that is impossible to break.
My older sister had a stroke when she was 21 and I was 13. I guess that was a horribly impressionable age, because ever since then, I’ve been waiting for it to be the next person’s turn to suddenly keel over. Whenever a loved one leaves, I worry until they come back. And I worry about my own health far too much, as if worrying will somehow give me control over nature and the universe will spare me from having to actually go through any rough times. Silly!
Here’s a little poem I like to keep in mind, in the hopes that someday soon I can achieve the state of mind it advises:
“Be like the bird
That, pausing in her flight
awhile on boughs too slight,
feels them give way
beneath her and yet sings,
knowing that she hath wings.”
—-Victor Hugo

Hey Pete,
I have been thinking about your message and how I really have allowed fear to rule my risk taking, in every form. I have allowed it to stunt me spiritually, relationally, and professionally. I am so jealous of people who are living out God’s plan. “A-hem” I have been wrestling with where God wants to use my in his divine plan. God is prompting me that it is something that will bring me satisfaction beyond belief and I just can’t give in due to fear. Right now I don’t know what it “looks like” to just completely trust in God’s plan and what do I do first. I guess prayer is the first step but then what-just wait? Will god really reveal his plan to me? I am scared to death! I can’t wait for the message this weekend-maybe I will get some answers!

Fear that people will find me out – that I am scared of myself and fear controls my life – in finances, in risk-taking in relationships. I have for too long put my faith in ‘man’ and not in God, and until that beief is broken, my spiritual growth will continue to be hobbled.

I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for 4 years, but need to go back to work now for financial reasons. The whole job-hunting process has me nervous enough, but finding adequate and affordable daycare for my three children is causing me complete anxiety and panic. I would appreciate any prayers I could get right now …. and so appreciate your message today. In all of this craziness, I completely forgot to put it in God’s hands and let Him be my guide.

I’ve been a worrier my entire life. It’s something I pray about and try not to do now, but as a single mom it’s a constant battle. Right now I’m trying not to worry about the fact that my daughter’s daycare is closing suddenly in a few weeks and I have to find somewhere to put her so I can continue working. Also I’m about to go back to court to sue for all parental rights. It should be simple enough (ex-husband was in prison before daughter was born), but it still scares me. I don’t know how he’ll react to it.
Good for my prayer life I guess.

Our church has been teaching on anxiety. I’m learning to speak Truth (scripture) to the cause of the anxiety. Claiming truth is faith, wrestling with anxiety is disbelief. I think the wrestling has to happen long enough to identify the root cause then…bam, pin it to the mat with Truth. (no, I’m not a wrestling fan – just trying to be clever:))

I get bad anxiety from time to time…I’ll worry about finances, my loved ones, our health…. When I get anxious I try to remember Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I am not a worrier by nature but I notice I get sick during times of emotional stress soooo, I guess I internalize a lot and don’t realize it at the time.
This is such a timely post with all that is going on in our economy so many people are worrying if they will lose their homes or where the next meal will come from.
I believe now more than ever is the time for the church to rise up and be The Church. We are given this wonderful opportunity to let God help others through us. This has been a matter of pray for me as of late. What role will God have me play and like Marla P. sometimes I wonder if I just wait for God to reveal or just jump in. Right now, like Marla I am waiting praying and reading both books and His Word. I am trying not to worry about it but am anxious to be in the fray.

my husband and i have been married for 8 years. we got married when we were 19. prior to getting married, we were best friends and during our friendship, he was convinced we were supposed to be together, i was not. i had a boyfriend of 3 years who i was sure i was going to marry and i also battled depression. i had turned away from much of what i knew was healthy in my life and was sexually active in that relationship. all the while the man who was to become my husband was deeply in love with me and was watching from the sidelines. i even listened to another ‘friend’ and told my future husband we couldn’t be friends any longer because i couldn’t see us together and didn’t think he’d move on otherwise. after coming to my senses and realizing he was the man for me, we got married and he still carries around all the devestation.
so my fear, my anxiety is that it is never going to go away. We are different people now. we know Jesus came to die for our sins and i am working on forgiving myself. sometimes i think i have, but the problem with being human is that i can’t forget, so i it comes back up and i have to reforgive me. but he thinks about it still. so i’m afraid that vowing my life to him won’t erase mistakes i made prior to our marriage.

I’m so freaked about going to South Africa for 2 reasons.
1. The puke factor. I’m so stressed about side effects of vaccinations I’ll need to get, anyone getting ill on plane, getting ill when I’m out there.
2. Today I’ve had to cancel youth work, meetings and stuff because I’m in pain, dizzy and nauseous. I’ve prayed and prayed for so many years to stop feeling like and I wonder why I bother praying at all. I’m fed up of feeling like this, I’m fed up of letting people down all the time. I’m worried this will happen in South africa.

In today’s economy, it’s very easy to become anxious about money. I become very concerned when it seems that there is too much month left after the money seems to run out. My wife always tells me “give the ‘first fruits”. At times it is very easy to say “The church won’t miss our tithe this paycheck”. But I know better. Somehow, it always works out; we get by.

I can relate to this post in so many ways.
The summer before my freshmen year of college, I started to have panic attacks. Then the panic attacks led to more fear and worry to the point that I was put on antidepressants by my family doctor. It was all bad timing because when I really just started to let myself go, it was time to move away from home and start my first semester of college. Which only added more stress. Thus, I ended up in therapy once a week to maybe help out with my issues.And it did somewhat. However, what I realized was that I was just not letting God take control of everything in my life. Most of us like to think that we are in control and we don’t like the idea that we aren’t. All the things I was worrying about (What am I going to do with my life, moving away from home, being by myself,etc.) where just things that I simply had no control over, and I was not allowing guide to show me his will for my life.
It was a long process but I eventually did learn my lesson and now I am as happy as can be. Of course I still struggle with worry from time to time but no where near like I was a few years ago.
Great post!

This is nice. I like the look of this blog better!
I supposey biggest fear is in the realm of self esteem. I worry about what people think of me constantly, and that people don’t respect me as much as, say, two of my siblings who are both educated and have professional careers. I don’t and I’m now jobless due to the economy, making matters that much worse. Does anybody offer any kind of classes for people in my shoes to get us back on our feet and overcome the pessimism created by all of the negative econonmic news?!

This is a tough one for me. It is hitting too close to home. For the last year my husband has been in a mental hospital. I worry he will never see our daughter graduate high school, or see her dance again, I worry that I will never get my friend back from the horrible grip of depression/suicide. I wonder what my life will look like, married/divorced, I wonder/worry why God hasn’t healed him, and made our family whole again. I don’t like the person I have become due to worry and being anxious. I wish that I could trust that God would calm the sea but this road is long with many curves

How cool that you too are in the same area our small group is. I got hung on the need to be spiritually bankrupt to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. And you seem to be hung on the verse on worry.
Doesn’t it seem comforting to know that others are looking at the same place and having similar ponderings about HIS word?
Worry is. It just is. It is part of being human, be it a torment from Satan or an err on the side of caution.
As a mother – it’s worry about the kids, the finances, the health of your husband, and so much more. For me, though, it’s not letting it get the upper hand or become all consuming. I give it pause, then try to move on!
Today – it’s hard to worry as the sun is shining, it’s going to be warm out and the kids and I are playing after school. The bank balance is still low and the floor still needs sanded – but everything in its time.

Great post. I need to be able to trust God more than I count on myself to take care of a health issue before it gets out of control. I know I can’t be good, but I know in my mind that He can help me. I just need to get that know down into my spirit where it becomes “KNOW”. And that is only going to happen if I set my eyes on Him as the One to help me instead of relying on my own weak nature. I am choosing to believe…but it is a choice, not a natural instinct with this issue.

@ T I am doing a Beth Moore study on Esther and she said one of the most profound things that I think you need to hear. “You cannot amputate your history from your destiny.” Think about that. Your history, whether good or bad, is designed to prepare you for the future God has planned for you. I have said and done things in relationships in the past,good and bad, that have made me a better spouse today. You deserve your husband and your husband deserves you-don’t waste another day worrying about the choice you didn’t make. just my 2 cents worth! Just keep loving him the way God loves you!

Thank you for this post, Pete. Philippians 4:6 has been my “theme” verse for many years. I can’t wait to hear what God tells us through you this weekend. When I become afraid, I just keep reminding myself of all the times God has intervened and not necessarily calmed the storm, but calmed ME in the storm. “It will all work out in the end, and if it hasn’t worked out, it isn’t the end.”

@Marla, thank you! that brings up even more fear, because i’ve been having this feeling that God wants me to share my/our story. that means airing it all out there for family and friends to know about, but it’s not about the nastiness of what i did, but how God can use it to His glory now, and if i can overcome my fear of people knowing, how many others can it help? we’re into ministry and helping people, and i just feel like i’m holding out on God by not letting Him use this, too.

@ t- I have said so many times that I am too much of an open book with my history but I have found that by sharing my past it opens me up to more authentic relationships. I don’t always share my past to “help” others but it always seems to find someone where they are. And that is part of my healing as well. So much of my lack of forgiveness for myself seems to dwindle when I listen to God’s gentle nudge to share my story with others because he has already forgiven me. I say go for it-share your story! God will reward your marriage for your honesty!

Wow! I am trying to help my husband with this right now! He is looking for a principal position because the school he has worked @ for 9 years has hired someone else for the position he wanted (he has been the interim principal this last year) & they don’t have a position for him now. First he is dealing with feeling betrayed by a school which he has given so much of his life to, & second feeling anxiety about finding a new position & moving the family..who knows where. I don’t have time to worry because I am trying to help him. (or I am hiding my feelings of worry because I don’t think they will help him)

i have been ruled by fear almost my entire life. i was a pk and am now a wife of a church planter, ’nuff said??!!
i live with the fear that i will never be “normal and healthy and energetic” ever again (i’ve been diagnosed with thyroid disorder, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, etc–a lot of autoimmune malfunctions that are cyclically with my depression and anxiety–go figure!). i have to be in constant prayer to guard against my idols of control and my idol of wanting to be God. i come from a long line of worriers and really don’t want that to characterize my life. one book that has helped me think through these things are: “running scared: fear, worry and the God of rest”. just a fantastic book and i highly recommend it.

My husband was just laid of from his job. With a toddler and a baby on the way, we have been worried a lot. He’s an engineer and is working on his MBA, so hopefully, finding a new position will not be too hard or take too long. One of our concerns is having to relocate.
I’m touched by how many people just in our church are going through similar situations and it has been a blessing to be able to pray for each other in our times of need.

My husband and I still have our work – and at the moment, the forecast is probable that we will be ok. But hearing so much going on out there – one more “hit” to this country and all can fall apart for everyone.
However, where there is downfall, there is opportunity. We’ve had some recent opportunity in real estate seem to fall into our lap unexpectedly. Should all continue as is, this will be an incredible investment! Should it not, we may face serious difficulty and join the many others in their struggles. We certainly don’t want to be foolish during this time, but do feel that God is providing an opportunity that may allow for our dreams to come to fruition in the future.
It’s hard not to feel intense anxiety and worry over such decisions and we waiver daily on what to do. It’s a constant prayer to God that if this is what He wants for us, then the doors will remain open while we cautiously venture forward. It’s also our prayer to Him that He will protect us from a great mistake.
But then again, maybe a “big mistake” for my family is part of His overall plan for us later, and the many we are connected to in our lives???
There we go again – back around to that little thing called “faith”!

This has been something on my heart for a long time, not to worry or be anxious for anything, but to love God, be in the stillness, the silence, within the beauty of God’s creation, and enjoy every part of life, whether it be painful or enjoyable.
It is always a struggle of mine though, at the same time… God is always with me, and there will always be times where I have to strive to not worry or be anxious or fear the unknown things of the future…
I think another thing that could be added to this is to not live in the anxiety of the future, fearing what happens tomorrow, but focusing on the present, what is happening not just today, but at this very moment, in our personal lives and the lives of those around us.
Thanks for posting that, it was very encouraging.

Pete- your message on Sunday really hit home for me. I spent this entire weekend just enjoying the weather and God’s creation and trying not to be anxious or worry. I keep reading that passage you told us to over and over and I really have to say the whole part about the birds really hits home for me. I guess because it’s so true! I sat on my porch Sunday night watching the birds and it hit home- they don’t have a care in the world but God always provides. Worrying does nothing but cause me grief so it’s really not worth it. It’s funny- when you finally let go God does so many cool things! Can’t wait to see how Cross Point changes after this series!

Pete,
I was one of the guys who raised their hand on the risk-takers this past Sunday. I am not free of fear, however, I feel the need to take that leap of the unknown. I do not know why but I have always been this way. I have always believed worry is in correlation to stress, its logic. I encourage everyone to take risks. If it turns out a mistake you learn a valuable lesson. Then again, it may just be what you need. If you never try how you will you ever know? I couldn’t help but relate your message to Jim Carey’s latest hit YES MAN, which I believe presents a valuable lesson to everyone who sees it. The Lord does not create life covered in Bubble-wrap. If you explore life you will find success!

My devotional for today
God’s peace…will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
The worrisome heart pays a high price for doing so.
Worry comes from the Greek word that means “to divide the mind.”
Anxiety splits us right down the middle, creating a double-minded thinker.
Rather than take away tomorrow’s trouble, worry voids today’s strength.
Perception is divided, distorting your vision.
Strength is divided, wasting your energy. Who can afford to loose power?
But how can we stop doing so?
Paul offers a two-pronged answer: God’s part and our part.
Our part includes prayer and gratitude.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.”
God’s part? “If you do this, you will experience God’s peace,
which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.

I just ended a 7-month relationship with a girl I thought for sure I’d marry when she walked away from me with no answers and for what seems like no reason. It’s been a month and because I have no answers, and because it’s so complicated between us, that anxiety that Phillipians speaks of is tearing at me every day. I’m anxious about her calling me, anxious about walking away, anxious about something. It really does pull you in two directions, and it’s terrible. Still haven’t felt the peace part yet, but maybe there’s a reason.

I am excited to hear your follow-up….and knowing the answer (or at least part of it) is “TRUST”….trusting God to meet us on the other side of a decision….trusting God to lead us to the “right” decision….trusting God that regardless He still loves me.

I need a Biblical answer on what someone, actually several people over the years have told me. In short, My husband has incurable cancer but it is under control ( not in remission). He is doing well and stable and God may have even healed him. My problem is whenever test time comes around, I ask people to pray and I tell them I am nervous about the test (I have anxiety disorders in my family also). I get some painful remarks from “friends” who tell me that I should be a stoic and being worried or anxious about this is a total lack of faith in God ( who has perfect faith on this earth anyway). Mostly, what really stabbed me through the heart was recently one church member wrote that “If you worry, God may bring his cancer back”. I started crying and tried explaining but they would not empathize. I know I worry, I tell God, “Lord I believe help my unbelief” I thank him if he has healed him and said that I will always pray anyway. I have this running strong in my family and all are on medication. My pain now is if my husband’s cancer returns, is it really my fault? I cannot live with that at all. How horrific. I would never, ever hurt him and couldn’t live with that idea. Others have told me the same thing!!! Where is the comfort.empathy, compassion. Does faith equal stoicism. and does the Bible say that if we worry about something that we will bring it to pass? Please, I need replies.
