What Can You Do Instead of Worrying? To keep from being swept away by anxious thoughts about the future, put your mental energy to better use by planning for what you can and praying for God’s guidance at every step. Planning and praying are both action-oriented. When you’re busy planning, you move out of the unproductive state of worrying about a problem and into the productive state of looking for ways to solve it.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12) For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

In general, sin must be acknowledged and confessed in order to be forgiven Several testimonies from the Bible make clear that God uses His Word to convict us of our sins and sinfulness. The Holy Spirit opens our hearts to the reality of our lives: That is how we find out how dirty of sin we really are. But the Holy Spirit also brings us to Jesus Christ to find forgiveness of all our sins in Him. Nobody can confess every sin he or she has done. We easily forget many of our sins. We only create a hindrance when we deliberately refrain from confessing particular sins, in order to continue doing t ..read more
