"Take Care", Farewell or Curse? Have you ever told anyone to "take care" when you were saying good-bye? Maybe you recently hung up the phone and advised the person on the other end of the line to "take care." Maybe a friend of yours, a Christian, instead of saying "good-bye" told you to "take care." What did you really say to that person or what did he or she really say to you?

You just advised them "to worry" and "to be anxious." Care is worry, anxiety and distress. When we willingly pick it up or take it to ourselves, we accept the enemy's plan for us. When we wish it on someone, aren't we wishing them ill? I believe telling someone to "take care" as a farewell or as a form of well-wishing is similar to a curse. I don't have a "thus saith the Lord" on this but when you wish someone care and worry and anxiety, you are not wishing them well. Besides, it's 180 degrees opposed to what the Bible tells us.
