Understanding Your Value to Overcome Worry
Your worth and value are secretly tied to worry and anxiety.
The better you understand your true worth and value, the less worry and anxiety you will have. The less you understand your biblical worth and value, the more worry and anxiety you will have. The biblical term for “secretly” would be “spiritually blinded” or “deceived.”
Truths about your worth and value. (John 3:16-17, NKJV)
Real worth and value comes from knowing, believing, and excepting God’s love.
2 steps to help someone who has worry and anxiety:
- Tell them the truth about their worth in God’s eyes. (Psalms 139:14, NKJV)
- Begin to treat and speak to them in a way that shows their worth and value. (Matthew 6:21, NKJV)
We worry the most about the things we value the most.
Change what you value and you will change your worries. (Matthew 6:21, NIV; Matthew 6:24, NIV)
Your heart has to be right with God. You can’t value money over God. You can’t value anything over God.
Trying to serve two masters will cause stress, worry, and emotional anxiety. (Matthew 6:25-26, NIV) Worry won’t add to your life but it can shorten your life. (Matthew 6:27-32, NIV) When we worry, it’s a red light and a simple reminder to depend on God instead of self. (Matthew 6:32-34, NIV)
