Reflection Questions:
1. What are the things that cause worry for people these days? What are the things that cause worry for you?
2. Jesus asked, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” What point is Jesus trying to make about worry? What does worry produce in our life that don’t want?
3. Jesus said that “your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” What difference would it make in your life if you knew without a doubt that the Father knew and understood what you were going through, even if your circumstances didn’t change?
4. Jesus tells us that worry is evidence of a faith problem. How does worry indicate that we are viewing something incorrectly about our heavenly Father?
5. Read Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --- Why does a heart of gratitude (thanksgiving) help remove a heart of worry? How can you tangibly practice gratitude when you are worried?
6. Read Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
--- How can we learn to “think about what we think about”? How can we take every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ? How can guard ourselves from the thoughts and ideas of the world that cultivate worry in our souls?
