Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa
90% of worries never come true!
...According to research by Volkovec et al. at Pennsylvania State University in the United States,
85% of worries never actually come true!
...Moreover, of the remaining 15 percent, 12 percent of events are manageable.
...In other words, the study concluded that only about 3% of worries actually become reality.
...The reason and mechanism behind worries is that we predict the future and magnify the worst-case scenario that hasn't happened yet.
...The human brain, simply by thinking "it might happen," experiences the same level of stress and pain as if it had actually happened.
...The Bible says, "Do not be afraid!" 365 times.
This is to prevent us from turning worry into fear and turning our lives into negative ones!
...Christians who live by plan are those who live each day trusting in the Lord!
Faith is trusting in the Lord.
Worry and fear are unbelief.
...May you be freed from all fears and anxieties.
Shalom 😃
