Worry is just wisdom that hasn't found peace

Worry is just wisdom that hasn’t yet found peace.

God never condemns us for our worries or anxieties. Instead he encourages us to cast our cares upon him. Why? Because He cares for us.

We’ve made worry out to be some grave sin. As if blissful ignorance is a spiritual virtue. But God never tells us to stop caring about people. He never instructs us to stop thinking things through. He encourages us to care. And to care deeply about all kinds of things.

I would even argue that your tendency to overthink is a spiritual gift waiting to be harnessed for the good of others and the glory of God.

Worry. Anxiety. Overthinking. These things can enslave us. God isn’t mad at you for caring. He just wants to help you find peace.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
