Choosing Peace over Worry
![Page 22: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Results of worry over our lives:1. Sickness2. Loss of Joy3. Anger4. Complaining attitude toward God and others5. Guilt about displeasing God
![Page 23: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Matthew 6:31-3431So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
![Page 24: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Consider the results when we choose not to worry, but instead turn our anxieties over to God in prayer.
![Page 25: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Instead of sickness, we have good health
Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a
crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

Instead of loss of joy, we have greater joy and supernatural peace
Paul says that “God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand”
- Philippians. 4:7
![Page 27: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Instead of anger, we have gentleness and peace in dealing with others
![Page 28: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Instead of complaining, we will have positive attitude of thankfulness
toward God and others.
![Page 29: Victory Over Worry Through Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816708550346895ddb7092/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Instead of displeasing God with our worry through guilt, we honor and please God by trusting him

“If today is my last day, what attitude will I have for today?”
I will never worry about a single thing for the rest of my life until the day I die.
I will confess my sin of worry by asking God for his forgiveness, and I will receive his peace through Jesus Christ.
