192 – Have you ever known someone who worried about almost everything?

Or have you ever been that person, that just couldn't help worrying about stuff?

This week's episode dives into Jesus's solution to overcoming being a worrywart. It's all about embracing his promise that the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Here are some of the key things this week:

• To quit worrying is about trusting God (Proverbs 3:5, 6, of course)
• You have to quit trying to manipulate people and circumstances to get what you want
• What are the consequences of the kingdom of heaven being at hand?
• How to get rid of the fear that keeps us from trusting God
• Find out what my friend Eunice quit worrying when there was no money and she didn't have one crumb of food to feed her family the day before Thanksgiving 
• What does it really mean to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness?
• You can't just quote Scriptures and think that will solve the problem
• Some people think they're praying, when actually they're just worrying

The way to stop worrying, is to seek and find the kingdom of heaven at hand, to experience being in God’s presence. 

Jesus would not tell us to seek this kingdom if we couldn’t find it. The implication is that we can be conscious right now of heaven’s presence and dwell there.

In heaven there’s nothing to worry about. And that is where you dwell. You have everything you need and God is in complete control.
