2. Letting God Meet My Needs

GOD IS THE SOURCE OF EVERYTHING I NEED TO LIVE
PSALM 23:1 “The Lord is my Shepherd, I will lack nothing!”

GOD DOESN’T WANT ME WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING

Worrying is the most common sin in the planet
PHILIPPIANS 4:6a “Don’t worry about anything! Instead, pray about everything.”


* 5 reasons you shouldn’t worry about anything
1. WORRY IS UNREASONABLE.

• MATTHEW 6:25 “Do not worry about your life – what you’ll eat or drink, and don’t worry about your body, or what you’ll wear. Your life is far more important than clothes.”
• We worry about wrong things. Most of things are temporary things. You pick the wrong things to worry about.

2. WORRY IS UNNATURAL

• MATTHEW 6:26
• Worry is learned by watching others worried

3. WORRY IS UNHELPFUL

• MATTHEW 6:27 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to the life?”
• Worry cannot change anything. It makes you more miserable.
• PROVERBS 12:25a “Worry weighs us down.”

4. WORRY IS UNNECESSARY

• God has promised to take care of you.
• MATTHEW 6:30

5. WORRY IS UNBELEIF

• Worrying is doubting God. You act like unbeliever
• PHILIPPIANS 4:19
• MATTHEW 6:32a

HOW DO I TRUST GOD?
1. EVERYDAY ASK HIM TO BE MY SHEPHERD

• Do this every day. God will feed, lead and meet my needs
• JOHN 10:14-15
• PSALM 28:9

2. GIVE HIM FIRST PLACE IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE

• MATHEW 6:32-33 “Your Heavenly Father already know perfectly well what you need, and He will give you what you need if you give Him first place in your life and live as He wants you to.”
• anytime you worry, that's a warning that God's not your number 1. if you don't give God the first place, it's an indication you're worried, insecure. eg. money- no matter how much or little you have, you are worried

3. RELAX & GIVE HIM MY WORRIES IN PRAYER

Count your blessings. make a list of blessings/ worries and give God your worries. express your worries to God. don't suppress. .”
1 PETER 5:7
MATTEW 6:32
HURRY CREATES WORRY              
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7
Peace in my mind comes because God is my shepherd. God will give what I need. Every time worry comes up, I don't hold it and say take it

4. TRUST HIM FOR ONE DAT AT A TIME

• MATTHEW 6:34 live your life one day at a time. if you worry about tmrw you miss today's blessings.
• Planning for tmrw is good but worrying is bad. Jesus highly recommends planning (book of proverbs)
• MATTHEW 6:34
• WHAT GOD GIVES TO ME, HE WANTS TO GIVE THROUGH ME
• ISAIAH 58:7-11 ***
