Winning Over Worry

Aug 16, 2026    Buddy Thompson

What if the worry keeping us up at night could actually become a doorway to deeper faith? In this message drawn from Matthew 6, we are invited to take an honest look at the role anxiety plays in our lives and discover that winning over worry is not about pretending problems do not exist, but about learning to see them through a godly lens. The passage reminds us that our heavenly Father already knows our needs before we voice them, and that seeking His kingdom first repositions everything else in our lives. We explore six practical, biblically grounded principles that move us from a place of being overwhelmed to a place of abundance, the very destination Psalm 66 promises to those who trust God through fire and water. From choosing a godly perspective to remembering the track record of God's faithfulness in our own lives, this message meets us where we are and charts a clear path forward. Whether worry is an occasional visitor or a constant companion, these principles have the power to genuinely reduce the grip it has on our hearts, our health, and our spiritual walk.
