Worry Is A Waste Of Time - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2026

‘Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.' Philippians 4:6 NLT
WORRY IS one of the most ineffective pastimes we can indulge in. Jesus Himself asked, ‘Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?' (Matthew 6:27 NLT). Worry is the assassin of rest and relationships. It stalks us and hijacks our minds. While we may continue to functions publicly, there's a sinister force lurking within us. This enemy called worry disorients moods, destroys creativity, and depletes your sense of completion which comes from within and can't be achieved by the acquisition of things. Why do we wrestle so much with things we can't change? One pastor writes: ‘It took me years to realise that when I went to bed I shouldn't go with half my day wrapped around my head. I wrestled all night with issues that couldn't be resolved until morning anyway. I can't tell you how many days I went to work feeling like the worn heel of an old shoe. I was less effective, tenser, unable to perform to full capacity, and it took its toll on my relationships.' Can you relate? Here's God's prescription for worry: ‘Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus Fix your thoughts on what is true...honourable...right...pure...lovely, and admirablethings that are excellent and worthy of praiseThen the God of peace will be with you' (Philippians 4:6-9 NLT). Today, let God set you free from worry.
