to be anxious about
Derivation
from G3308 (μέριμνα);
Appears 19 times in Scripture
“I want you to be free from concern. The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord.”
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
“and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the work of the Lord, how she can be holy in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, how she can please her husband.”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.”
““Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.”
“so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.”
“I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.”
“But the married man is concerned about the affairs of this world, how he can please his wife,”
When merimnáō is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what merimnáō means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like 1 Corinthians 7:32 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
