142. Worship Suffocates Worry (with Katie Reid)

Published: Oct. 5, 2021, 2:31 p.m.

"Worship suffocates worry.\u201d This powerful quote by Katie Reid has been challenging me ever since I read it in her book, Made Like Martha: Good News for the Woman Who Gets Things Done.

When I\u2019m feeling worry creeping in, when I\u2019m starting to stress over the what if\u2019s or unknowns, I want to choose worship instead.

This might mean turning on worship music and singing along (there\u2019s something about singing about the goodness and faithfulness of God that just changes your perspective and outlook!)

Or, it might look like spending some time praising the Lord and calling out His attributes and character. (Growing up, my Mom would sometimes have us come up with something to praise God for with every letter of the alphabet. Once you get started, it\u2019s hard to stop! There\u2019s so much to praise!)

It could also look like reading Scripture about His promises and trustworthiness and reminding ourselves of these truths. However it looks for you, will you join me in choosing worship instead of worry today? \u201cWorship suffocates worry.\u201d

This week on the Crystal Paine Show, I invited Katie on to share more about this concept and how to live a life of worship instead of a life of worry. I believe this episode will really encourage you -- especially if you are someone who is a do-er, fixer, and problem-solver and you struggle to just rest and let go.
