Worry ENDS Where Faith BEGINS

                   Yes, it is absolutely true that worry ends where faith begins because I experienced how it helped and developed my foundation of faith.Most of the people today worry about on what to wear,what to eat and many more they don't realize that there is a BIG GOD who is the Source of Everything.I'm so blessed after I read this quotes because it reflects in the situation nowadays economically and politically.Many problems that arouse because of the lack of faith.Is it possible to live a life without worry?I guessed many will say no,but if we are courageous to realize that we are not alone in times of worry and troubles indeed we could really share to others that God is with me always.I am so touched of this line,because before if I got worry,all I did is isolating myself from my friends and peers I don't want to with them because of my situation.But later,I enlightened and awaken  because when the time I read God's Word that says,"Ask and you will given,and believe that you received it and it shall be yours."Praise God!See how God's Words meet my needs emotionally,physically,financially and Spiritually.I realized that God doesn't look at on my own ability,instead He want to show His greatness and marvelous works to me and make me realize that "All things are Possible to Him!"That's why it's not too late to take away from doubts and worry,it's time to reflect God's presence in our lives.So now,STOP WORRYING,and START PRAYING.
