What Can You Do Instead of Worrying? To keep from being swept away by anxious thoughts about the future, put your mental energy to better use by planning for what you can and praying for God’s guidance at every step. Planning and praying are both action-oriented. When you’re busy planning, you move out of the unproductive state of worrying about a problem and into the productive state of looking for ways to solve it. In a similar way, when you pray, you’re giving God a chance to work in your life. Although most Christians already know how to pray, how to best plan takes more practice. In the verses preceding Jesus’s instruction not to worry, Christ tells us how we can best plan to keep anxiety at bay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
