ARE YOU A WORRIER?



If you are a worrier my heart truly goes out to you. In this day and age it is very difficult not to worry about one thing or the other. If it's not the bill you are worried about, it could be your health, the children, your family, the future and so much more. The world we live in today is a very difficult place to avoid worrying about one thing or the other. We are all in pursuit of happiness, which seems to elude us. My encouragement to you is to start where you are with what you can. I leave you with these nuggets of wisdom:
  • Planning for tomorrow is time well spent. Worrying about tomorrow is time wasted.
  • Careful planning is thinking ahead about goals, steps and schedule and trusting in God's guidance. Turn to God first for help.
  • When done well, planning can help alleviate worry.
  • Worry damages your health, as the object of your worry consumes your thoughts.
  • Worrying can reduce your ability to trust in God.
  • Worrying about the future hampers your efforts for today.
  • Worrying is more harmful than helpful.
  • Living one day at a time keeps us from being consumed with worry.
  • God does not ignore those who depend on him.
LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

WORRY CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE WAY YOU TREAT OTHERS
