How to stop worrying

Every so often I post material from my church. Last week's sermon, "How to Stop Worrying," was really useful. Here's what our pastor recommends:

* Worry is defeated as we change our focus.

* Focusing on God.

* Talking to God.

* Trusting in God.

* Worry is defeated as we change our thinking.

* Take every thought captive in the name of Jesus.

* We are not God. We are not in control.

* Worry is defeated as we change our responses.

* The promise of peace.

The Bible passage that was emphasized during the sermon was Philippians 4:4-9. It's an excellent passage that helps us reorient our focus.
