“Be careful for nothing” (Phil. 4:5a).

The word “careful” means “to be full of care.”

Paul’s advice is to stop worrying.

-
Rumination is dangerous thing.
-
It is more than just intent thinking.
-
This is focusing on a negative subject and continually thinking on it.
-
It is usually coupled with self-examination (criticism), pessimism, neuroticism, and a difficulty solving problems.

It is noted that females are more likely to be involved in rumination than males.

What happens when one finds himself ruminating?

Answer: Unless you are a musician, it is likely that nothing good will occur.
-
Matt. 6:27
-
The problem will be no closer to being solved by worrying about it.
-
-
Stop worrying.
-
One of the wonderful things about the Bible is that it does not just tell us the problem.
-
It also tells us how we can stop worrying.
