🍂 Fall Into His Presence
“Letting Go of Worry”
Prevalence of Worry:
"According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH),
approximately 19.1% of adults in the United States experienced an anxiety
disorder in the past year. The prevalence of worry is higher among females
(23.4%) compared to males (14.3%). Worry is more common in younger adults, with
the highest prevalence among those aged 18-29. Women are more likely to
report worry than men, especially in the younger age groups. About 15.6%
of adults in the United States experience moderate to severe symptoms of
anxiety. Worry is more likely to be severe in individuals with a history
of mental health trauma or those experiencing significant life stressors. The
prevalence of worry has been increasing in recent years, particularly among
young adults. This increase may be related to factors such as increased
access to social media, economic uncertainty, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Common
worries include health, finances, relationships, work, and safety. Worries
about the future and hypothetical scenarios are also frequent.
Worry can interfere with daily life, sleep, and relationships. It can also increase the risk of developing mental health disorders. such as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder.
Note: These statistics are based on data from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's important to remember that these are estimates and may vary depending on the study and population surveyed.
Scripture: Matthew 6:34 (NLT)“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
Anxiety thrives on “what ifs,” but faith lives in “right now.” This week, surrender tomorrow to God. He’s already there. When worry comes, pause and pray, “Lord, help me trust You with my future.”
You don’t have to control every outcome, just stay rooted in His presence today.
Prayer: Lord, please remove worry and anxiety from our minds as we press through this week. Fill us with Your joy and peace that surpasses all. We come against any mental warfare and mental distractions of worry, doubt, and fear.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
