AUTOIMMUNE

Autoimmune is a disease that occurs when the immune system attacks its own body tissues. Whether it's healthy cells, tissues, or organs in the body. The immune system should protect the body from infections and diseases. However, in the case of autoimmune diseases, this defense mechanism malfunctions. It responds excessively and recognizes its own cells or tissues as threatening enemies. So instead of functioning as a protector, it attacks and causes diseases.

Just like autoimmune diseases, worry is also nurtured continuously. Excessive worry only adds burdens both mentally and emotionally, instead of providing solutions to struggles. Moreover, worry clearly indicates a lack of faith in God and doubt in His power and sustenance. If so, how will our faith grow? Worry only eliminates the peace that comes from God, even obscuring our focus on seeking God and His will.

Jesus Himself invites us to believe in Him, to surrender all our worries in prayer. Because it is crucial for us to live without worries. Especially worrying about the transient worldly life. Because there are far more important things to think about than worldly matters, namely spiritual life and true happiness. Isn't the most worrisome thing if our struggle in this world ends in vain destruction? --EBL/www.renunganharian.net
