Worry can take over before you even realize it, but Jesus offers a better way. In this episode, discover how to release control and trust the God who promises to care for you, one day at a time.
Do you ever find yourself replaying the same worries over and over in your mind?
Maybe it’s your finances, your family, your job, or the future. Worry doesn’t make tomorrow better, it just steals today’s peace. But Jesus invites us to do something radical: give our worries away.
In this episode, you’ll hear the true story of J.C. Penney, a man whose worry drove him to the edge, until one quiet moment in a hospital chapel changed everything. Through the words of an old hymn, “God Will Take Care of You,” he rediscovered what it means to trust instead of spiral.
Main Scripture:
Matthew 6:34 – “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Supporting Scripture:
1 Peter 5:7 – “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”
By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why worry is a form of misplaced control
- How to release anxiety into God’s faithful hands
- What it means to live in daily dependence on His care
Today’s Challenge:
Write down three things that have been worrying you lately. Then, next to each one, write this phrase: “God will take care of me.” Pray over that list and ask God to help you release what you can’t control and rest in His promise.
