3 Questions to Ask When You're Worried.

Are are spending emotional energy on scenarios that may never happen?

We replay conversations that haven’t occurred. We imagine diagnoses we don’t have. We forecast rejection that hasn’t come.

And all the while, our bodies are tense (our stress is through the roof) and our joy is missing.

Remember:

If a thought is not producing peace, it is not from God.

God may convict. He may guide. But sweet friend, He does not torment.

The next time your thoughts start spinning, walk through this:

➝ 1) Write the Thought

Write the fear that keeps circling in your mind.

Don’t edit it. Don’t make it sound spiritual. It doesn’t even need to make sense.Just write it exactly as it sounds in your head.

➝ 2) Question the Thought

Now gently ask yourself:

Is this thought actually true?Are you one hundred percent certain it will happen?

Pause and notice your body as you sit with it.

How does it make you feel?

Tight? Afraid? Defensive? Small?

Now imagine releasing it.

Who would you be without that thought?

How would you feel if you let it go?

Lighter? Calmer? More present?

➝ 3) Replace the Thought

Write the opposite of that fear-based thought.

If your mind says,“Something bad is going to happen.”Write: “God is protecting and providing for me.”

If your mind says,“I’m going to fail.”Write: “I am equipped for what God has called me to.”

Declare the opposite over your life — not as denial, but as alignment with truth and the favor of our Lord over you.

Fear lives in your head as long as you keep rehearsing tragedy.

When you practice faith and trust, they gently squeeze out fear and

make room for peace.

Today, instead of obsessing over what might happen, hand it back to the One who already knows what will.

Take the thought captive. Write it. Question it. Replace it. Surrender it.

“Since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds. We demolish arguments and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ.”(2 Corinthians 10:4–5 CSB)

In Him,

Kerstin
