the other day I got among hall and the boys on the other end of the phone said Victoria I gotta tell you something, but don't worry about what I'm going to tell you law automatically. My worry was kicked in. That was my first response. I thought oh, my gosh. What do I have to worry about? You see doesn't happen. Sometimes our worry automatically kicks in without a sea.

No in it. We just worry when a concern or care comes into our lie. Now this particular problem was not huge. It wasn't monumental, but it was a problem all the same. It was something that needed to be resolved, so I had to push pause for a moment Make a decision. Was I going to let this consarn overtake me call my mind just spin out of control threat and worry until the problem has resolved itself, Was I get a ruin my entire day, because of this concern are was I going to say God, you gotta here maybe this situation, God I've got a present to you. You know everything about me. You said you'd find now battles for me now

I am giving this to you and I'm gonna try to rest and hear everything you would want me to hear from you. You see we have to make this choice. How are we going to handle this thing called worry are, goin to just work it in our minds. You know. Sometimes I wouldn't worry it's like I'm really doing something, I'm just work and work, working in it. In my mind, I heard worry was alive. Sitting in a rocking chair, you're doing something, but it's getting. You know where we're just working at work in it and work in it in our minds and are so unproductive. My question today is: how are you handling worry, because how we handle worry and stress, it's gonna make all that

France in our life. There's two sisters in the Bible made merry and Martha. You can find their story in Luke Marian Arthur two sisters. They had a brother, they were. Obviously from what the scholar say well to do people, so they have going on in there why they had money to manage it had a home to manage. They have a lot of things happening. One day Is this came to their home? He was going to stay with them. He was going to fellowship with them. I'm sure they were so excited. I'm sure that everybody in the town knew Jesus is coming over to my house, because this was a very important person, so I'm sure they were preparing their we're. Getting everything just perfect for Jesus Jesus came to their home As they were fellows shipping and as they were, enjoying Jesus

Jesus noticed something about Martha. She was buzzing around. She was working, it work in its work in it and he said to her Martha Martha. Why are you so anxious and trouble about so many things you see observed Martha as as they were in this home, he saw how she was handling, but the to do that was going on, but in contrast. Here's your sister Mary Mary, was had as much responsibility is Martha did but Mary said, I'm going to take this opportunity when all my business in all the concerns that I have to just linger here with Jesus, because he's at my house today,

I want to sit at his feet and pour out my heart to him, so we can pour in his thoughts to me. You see Martha was so disturbed that her sister would had the audacity to sit at the feet of Jesus when there was so much to do that. She said Jesus you need to tell my son to come. Help me she needs to get and she needs to get this kitchen. There's a emails to answer their stuff, stop? The kids need to be taken care of there's a bunch of stuff to do, and she needs to get up and Chinese to help me. Can you believe she would even say that to her guest of honor? He said to her Mary.

Has chosen the one important thing: she's chosen that one thing she chosen the better way. Now. Let me just tell you this right now. He said: there's one important thing: there is a better way now he was. Very much aware of the legitimate concerns that these women had. The Bible says that Jesus said in this world you're going to have trouble you're going to have hardship, you're going to have some things that come against you but be of good cheer. I have all overcome the world here have already offered hand. I guess, when you look at that script, you can say easy for you to say Jesus your God.

I still have these troubles and these concerns. This is what he was saying. He was saying that you shouldn't take your responsibility seriously. He wasn't saying that don't work legitimately things to be done. He was saying: there's one important thing and it's the better way What he was saying is all these concerns all these crises, all these things that are coming against you, you need to come, hang around at my feet, linger in my presence, because he that's the one important thing: that's going to help you get through, that's the better way to handle, worry and stress. That's the better way to handle worry and stress. You say I believe that Mary somehow figured out the better way and she did it. It wasn't that she was lazy and wasn't that

didn't care. Mary said love. This is my chance right now to empty out the concerns and to put in all that God is you see, that's the better way. Have you ever Land, a birthday party or holidays celebration at your house or are some the rain and you're so stressed out that you made your own self miserable and maybe some of your friends and family as well. There is a better way to handle the stresses of lie the word worry comes from an old english word in the one thousand five hundred that meant to strangle the strangle. I think that's an amazing interpretation of that word because worrying and stress literally chow the fun out of life, it literally pressures us in every relationship that we have steals our joy think about it. Jesus was admire. This house she couldn't even enjoy the fact that

Jesus was there. She missed the whole beauty of the moment. She couldn't calm, down, relax and be peaceful. She allowed. The stress that was going on in her mind is striking. The relationship with their own sister seat was an attitude that changed worry, doesn't change anything but your personality. It changes your disposition. It doesn't make the situation better actually and makes the situation worse. I worked with a woman several years ago and she had some legitimate concerns and her lie, and I could see how was affecting her entire life. Her son was too within the military and he'd been deployed to another country. She was extremely concerned about his his well being and if he was gonna, make it and how things were going,

she was so concerning so worked up that I saw it began to change her disposition change your personality. She could hardly even function I said to her. I look, there's gotta be a better way to handle the situation I mean there. There is not a thing that you can do about it. You ve got to come to this place of peace and rest in the war, so I began to pray with her and then I'm going to make some suggestions. As it looks you need to get some scriptures. You need to have them ready justice, as your more fair when these thoughts are still angling, your joy in your piece. You need a ride out some declarations when you feel that tension come and against you, you need to say God thank you that my son is in the palm of your hand. Thank you bother that no

I've been born, begets terminal, prosper. Father. Thank you. Your angels have charge over him to keep in all of his way. He won't even dashes put against this down, but he'll tread upon the line in the calibre the young. Why is he trample on but thank you, father you, what a black around him the enemy can not wrong. Father outside you, Lord, that my son will come home safely. I begin to see her put this into practice. Little boy, well. She began to take control over that worry and I can, see this strength? Come back? I can see your focus in her resolve combat. She began to praise God in the midst of her fear and her torment, and it made all the difference in her life. You see, worry poles us away from gods. Power

but worship and praise trousers to him and the situation. I have a good news to report six years servant in the military and her son home safely time. How is he worries await? It? Weighs down causes not be productive. In fact the Bible says: lay aside every weight that would so easily beset us come on us, so you have to let aside because it says it you have to run with purpose in every step and when you are weighed down, you can't run my sweet friend was so right down. She couldn't hardly get to work. Much less run. You see when she began to lay aside that way she was able.

To run out. Her purpose, see her prayers. Intercession for her son was much more powerful than her worry. When she talked to him on the phone she could say son. I want to tell you I'm praying for you, the angels. Are the large have charge, for you. You walk out. You be confident God Almighty is looking after. You should encourage him to pray for him. So you see when she began to lay aside the weight and run with purpose. She was way more effective, there's a technique that I use and I've used it for years and it works for me. You just gotta find something that works for your eye. So when have these concerns and these troubles, I imagine a big helium balloon. The beautiful blue red red balloon. It's a power color and I began to put those troubles in that below

imagine myself holding that balloon by the string holding it out in front of me with those troubles, and I look at that balloon and I let it go, and I release it to God, and I said God, thank you that your bigger than all these troubles. Thank you. Thank you. I bet you said you'd prefer that those things that concern me so I'm betting Can you please troubles are just going to go right at your feet. Jesus you're going to take care of them. You see, sometimes I have to admit. Sometimes I have to let go of a whole bouquet of balloons.

Do what you gotta do do what you gotta do to relieve the worry and they care because cheese whale sustain you when you related to have listen, if you feel the pressure the stranglehold of worry come in on you, even if its automatic push the pause button, let's be like Mary. Let's take a lesson from this and let's sit at his feet, let's linger, therefore, while lets them.
