I don't know about "must not". Although it's "popular" among Christians and also people in the world to "brush under the rug" the possibil;ity of anything negative happening, and it "feels better" to thing everything is going to be "rosy", in reality, we still live in a fallen world, and with fallen peoople, and if they mean us harm, our "positive thoughts" can't "jump into them.Also, there's what I call being concerned enough about something to prod you take the nessasary steps to thwart the potentential problem{"Faith without works is dead.}"Denial" might make us feel better, but sometimes you have to be "concerned" enough to take action.Like , the other extreme of worry...example, if your have bad brakes and know it, the person not "worried" could be riding on the highway, going 70 mph, and if a tractor trailor stops short in front of him, you know what happens, WITH all those "positive thoughts", whereas the person who was "worried enough" to get their brakes fixed, is still alive. {Meaning, "constuctive concern",if you don't like the word "worried."}So if the "worry prompts you to do something to strengthen your odds against the situation, like you use it as a protection , it has it's place, And I would say, NOT worrying shouldn't mean riding on the highway with bad breaks, lying under a herd of charging elephants, etc.In other words, "going to the other extreme."I know that's not as "popular" an insight, but anyone who disagrees, I welcome them to ride on the highway with bad breaks. Be my guest.
Good stuff brother. I see your angle. I say the moment one opts for action then they have abandoned worries for wisdom. Wisdom is beneficial against worrying. But sometime worry is derived from a situation where there is no control over. I have no control of the intrusive medical procedure that's coming this week so I was worrying. I know of the nightmare that coming. It's not pleasant. Worrying in this case won't amount to a hill of beans. However praying and knowing God is watching is comforting. So constructive concern is really based on wisdom in action.
Praise God.

Vladi777, thank you for praying. I ask the Lord to bless you and your love ones with prosperity and good health. May our Lord answer all of your prayers. Have a blessed day, in Jesus precious name, amen.
 
For me I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happens. Lol!
Sometimes I can be such a worrier about various things but our faithful Father nudges me back in line. It can be in a small way like leading me to the above bold quote or receiving extra money in my bank account during these hard times. God is faithful. He's preparing me. He knows I'm struggling with my routine medical examinations. He's reminding me to adopt a faithful attitude for this routine quarterly test. It's not a painless examination but I'm feeling better about it. Thank You Father. Brothers and sisters keep me in your prayers for next Thursday. Pray for an uneventful examination. Thank You.
I prayed for this in Jesus Name amen
