Are you a Warrior or a Worrier?

Being a worrier is easy. Everyone worries about something, their family, career, finances, health, and the list goes on and on. But you don’t have to be a worrier. You can be a Warrior! You can overcome the fear and anxiety that is keeping you stuck. Being a Warrior takes faith. Tremendous faith. How strong is your faith? Recently I was dealing with an issue and I was discussing it with a friend. All of a sudden in the middle of a sentence, he asked “Are you a Warrior or a worrier?” I couldn’t even answer him. I felt like I got punched in the stomach. Why you ask? Because I recognized that I was a worrier. I was worried because things were not happening on my time in the way I expected them to and the fear and anxiety was getting to me. It caused the worry and fear to win. That is not acceptable!! I am not a woman of fear. I am a child of God and He did not make me with a spirit of fear. I had to start acting like the Warrior that I know is inside me. You can too! When something is worrying you and you feel like it’s taking over don’t let it! You are a victor in Christ Jesus!
My challenge to you today is to ask yourself this. Am I a Warrior or a Worrier? If you’re worried, let it go. Lay it at the altar and trust God. Be the Warrior that you know is inside you.
Proverbs 3:5-6   Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
