What are you worried about?

Be encouraged that worry needn’t drive us away from God in despair, but drive us to Him in hope! We do not have to wrestle with our fears or confront our nightmares alone. 

What Are You Worried About? looks at how Scripture redirects us from worry to God. Concern itself is not treated as a moral failure; caring about people, responsibilities and consequences is part of ordinary life. The question is where those concerns lead us. This booklet shows that worry can either exhaust our own resources or expose our need to depend upon God. 

Drawing particularly on Jesus’ teaching and Philippians 4, it considers what we know about the God to whom we bring our fears: He sees, knows, cares, remains present and has power beyond our own. Prayer is the practice of entrusting what we cannot govern to the One who can.

The final sections offer a practical pattern of reading Scripture, praying, trusting and obeying: bringing uncontrollable things to God while taking responsibility for what He has given us to do.
