• Concern is when an issue arrests the attention of an individual where he would begin to care and feel distressed. This will be followed by trying to find solutions.
• Worrying is about being uneasy or anxious about something. This will lead the person to go to the same mater again and again without much luck at getting anywhere.
• Unlike concern, worry is a futile effort that drains a person as it is a process that does not benefit the individual but makes the person even more miserable.
• Concern leads an individual towards a solution whereas worry does not lead the individual towards a solution, but to the very place that he started at.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6
