Dont Worry
Forty percent of what we worry about never happens. Thirty percent has never happened. Twelve percent focuses on opinions or situations we cannot change. Ten percent is about our health, which only worsens it. Eight percent concerns real problems we can influence.
Think: ninety two percent of our worries are needless. Worry comes from a Greek word meaning, “To divide the mind.” Anxiety splits us right down the middle. Rather than take away tomorrows trouble, it robs us of today’s strength. And who can afford to lose strength? “But how can I stop worrying?” the answer in two parts: Gods part & our part. Our part includes prayer & gratitude. “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Do you want to worry less? Then pray more! And, express your gratitude. God wants to be thanked before He gets invoiced! And what is Gods part? If you do this, then you will experience God’s peace (which is far more wonderful beyond our understanding). Imagine having God’s peaceful state of mind! Do you think He battles anxiety? God enjoys perfect peace – and He offers His peace to us. We just need to do our part through prayer and thanksgiving and He will do His! Psalm 84:11 No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. |
