Matthew 6:27 NIV Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Life challenges and disappointments were not intended to defeat you. God’s promises include joy – everlasting. John 16:33 KJV33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Therefore, let nothing steal your joy. Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Can you control the things that you worry about? No, because if you could, those things would never occur in the first place. Can you control the actions and thinking of people? No, because if you could control people, then everyone would always do what pleases you. Can you change your lifestyle? Yes, you can. Therefore, if we thirst after a lifestyle of God, holiness, righteousness, then, we can overcome the world, addictions, evil doing and negative distractions from joy.
God promises us joy everlasting. Don’t let the world distract you with worrying. The joy that you have was given to you by God, the world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away.
