Dictionary.com defines the verb "worry" when not applied to an object as: "to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts." However, I like the meaning of worry when applied to an object better: "to seize, especially by the throat, with the teeth and shake or mangle, as one animal does to another." The first definition of worry is a metaphorical application of the second. Worry can tear a person to pieces, destroying his/her peace of mind and joy of heart, leaving him/her in torment, gasping for breath, and grappling for energy.
The Bible says that as a child of God, we have access to His peace at all times and in every situation. Why? Because the Lord is always with us.
"Now may the Lord of peace Himself
give you His peace at all times
and in every situation.
The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT)
We never need to worry. We can give all our worries and cares to God because the God of this Universe and the Creator of All cares about us.
"Give all your worries and cares to God,
for He cares about you."
1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)
