Worry in Greek: merimnaō - to be anxious Made up of two Greek words, merizo and nous. merizō - to divide nous - mind So to worry, means anxious, which comes from a divided mind.

When you get anxious or begin to worry, stop and meditate on what's God says is important. Then remove whatever has divided your focus from His primary goals.

Do practical things that reinforce what God says is important in your life. That reality and belief will grow in your heart and mind.

KEEP doing what God has given you to do, both big and seemingly small things. Our reward is quickly approaching.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
