Worry is like telling our omnipotent God the unthinkable: “I don’t trust You.” Yet worry is still a struggle for many who have experienced God’s goodness—even mature believers. Reflecting on Jesus’ words about anxiety, Alistair Begg explains that we can think rightly about our troubles when we view them in light of God’s Word. Only then will we trust our burdens to the One who can truly bear them.

Scripture: Luke 12:22
Preached: November 12, 2000

    Recently I have heard this message on worry and anxiety repeatedly. God is speaking to my heart to let go of the fear and anxiety that have nearly destroyed my faith. After losing our daughter I found myself fearful of everything. It has taken 18 months to get to a point where I can combat the enemy and know the peace only He can bring. I'm still struggling with anxiety but God is faithful and healing has begun.
  • I never worry I rise in the morning If I don't im in Heaven I've never missed a meal or missed a paycheck I dont have alot but I have enough My neighborhood is not great but I have a house THANK YOU LORD FOR SUPPLYING ALL MY NEEDS

    I firmly believe that I was lead to this message today! Not praising the pastor but THE LORD that used him as a messenger for me. I say again this day, "yet tho' He may slay me, I will trust in Him." Thank you Lord.
  • Grandma always said (in a Southern accent), "Worry is like a rocking chair: you go back and forth and don't get anywhere." She also said, "A stitch in time saves nine." Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world." Now, "it's no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me," so whether I worry or not, no present trouble compares to the glory that awaits us.

    Hey! I’ve heard this sermon first time while driving transport in the Northern Canada. It kept me calm during some perilous encounters:-) I know, it will also get me trough this new, worldwide tribulations! Praise the Lord! Amen.

    Oh, the world needs to hear this message. How much time we waste worrying about things, when we should focusing on how much we need to increase in our faith in God,( I know I do), who alone has the ability to provide us with what we genuinely need; which is HIM. (Not social philosophies) Seek FIRST the Kingdom; God will guide you through the fears, for; truly, only He can.

    Am truly going through the valley right now with anxiety.. I know by heart that I will overcome these trying and hard times, but sometimes by frailty of the flesh my anxiety tends to cause a burnout that truly causes fear in my life. Oh God please grant me faith like Daniel, Moses, Paul, and Job! Please do pray for me brethren that I may break through soon! Because I know that Christ is able therefore I will overcome

    Thank God for this man. In the wake of the recent exposure of the RZIM ministry issues it is refreshing to know that there are still people in ministry with integrity who speak God's truth in a discombobulated world.
  • "Put first things first....God has had all of me...." so so many teachings in this sermon with so much gravitas! Thank you King Lord Jesus for using Pastor Begg and thank you Pastor Begg for allowing yourself to be used so mightily for the Kingdom! Praise to the King and our Lord and Savior today and forever amen.

    Skooshing the windscreen with the word of God, now that’s something I can remember forever.
  • That sitting there and waiting on a doctor report does make a person do alot of thinking. I never want to do that again. I am very thankful of all what the father in Heaven. has done
  • @ladykatietx

  • I have lived for 70 years and there is not one thing that God hasn’t taken care of in my life.
  • @TOMAS-lh4er
    Im 70 and was born a year after Alistair, I had wished I could trust God as he does and believe all the things he believes from the Bible, I want to, but it's hard for me, even when I want to , BUT one time watching a video of his I realized I could just believe and Trust GOD in anything that Alistair does when I haven't been able to understand something before believing, For Example , I have no doubt that Alistair believes in his heart that "My Times are in Thy Hnds" So I dropped my struggle with that and now I do believe that MY times are in GODs hands, I want to know and trust GOD the way Alistair does , SO I decided to believe and trust GOD as much as Alistair does , that eliminates my struggling with that, And Now I also can use the same method about Anything GOD says in HIS word also, Im SOOO relieved to not have to work out things in my head anymore if God and Alistair say it's true !! I hope that helps at least one dear soul,
  • I love the straightforwardness of this pastor and the way he opens my eyes to Gods word.What a fresh breath of air that HELPS you to think more clearly so that you can understand more deeply the precious words of God,our wonderful savior
