What’s Worrying You?
We can worry about thousands of different things, from what people think of us to what will happen in our future. Many times, our worry has no real foundation. We anticipate trouble, worrying about things that may never happen, and even if they did, worrying would not prevent them. Only Jesus can carry your heavy burden. Put your trust in God and give Him all your concerns today. He cares for you!
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
- Luke 12:25–26
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Matthew 6:31–33
Take your worries to the Lord in prayer. Speak to Him, but also listen for His voice. He wants to fill your heart with peace and remind you of the eternal hope you have in Him. Surrender your concerns to Him and receive all the good things He wants to give you. He is faithful and will help you. Remember, you can trust God at all times and for all eternity.

Listen to others
Speaking too much is a common mistake of many people. But only those who know how to be silent and listen truly know how to speak. Nowadays people struggle to communicate well because they don’t listen well and talk too much. Maybe that’s why God gave us 2 ears and only 1 mouth… Think about it and reflect to evaluate whether you are someone who talks too much without allowing others to express their ideas. Make it a point to listen more and meditate first, always seeking to speak with wisdom.
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
- James 1:19
Instead of rushing to speak and give your opinion on every subject, pause for a moment to think and ask yourself how you can please God with your words. Evaluate your interactions with your family and friends. Pray that God will help you to listen attentively and provide words that encourage and bless, words that draw people closer to God.
By listening carefully, you may even be surprised. You can learn a lot when you listen attentively. Therefore, listen with respect and humility. It is not only a demonstration of wisdom, but you may even learn something important.
Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
- Proverbs 13:10

Comforted to comfort
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
- 2 Corinthians 1:3–4
What a wonderful feeling it is when we receive the Lord’s comfort! In moments when we think we cannot endure anymore, God comes to our aid and brings relief to our pain. It’s true that we would prefer not to go through hardships, but we can count on the faithful presence and help of our Lord.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
- Psalm 147:3
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
- Psalm 34:18
God comforts us: His Holy Spirit is the great Comforter. But God also sends brothers and sisters in Christ to walk alongside us, people who have gone through similar situations and have experienced victory in the hands of Jesus. In the same way, in the future you too will be able to bring blessing and comfort to others who are going through difficulties. What a beautiful chain of blessing! We are comforted so that we may comfort.
Strengthen yourself today with God’s comfort and get ready to comfort others. See also:
