Worry quote

Worrying really is a waste of time, effort and energy. But try telling that to a worrier and you'll just worry them even more.

Extreme worry is opposite of trust in the care of our loving God? This kind of worry keeps us from seeking God, and it makes us have only horizontal thoughts. It is our mortal foe because what we worry about becomes more significant to us than God.

Quick Quotations


Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.

BIBLE

Psalms 37:8


Worry is a tool that the devil uses to silently destroy lives and kill destinies. It comes in as if it can provide solution to the issues at hand but Jesus Christ has warned us that worry is helpless -- it is an enemy to kill, steal and destroy.

Another thing about the action of worrying is that once you're at the point of worrying over something, you've taken yourself out of the fast lane of your soul's journey. If I'm worrying about something, this immediately tells me my footwork is done, and I've gone far enough. To keep worrying over something past the finished footwork is to send a lot of mixed messages out into the universe. Worrying is a state of being and creative process, just the same as wondering is. Stay focused on the positive one (wondering) and you'll get to sit back and let life come to you, instead of the other way around.

When you worry, you go over the same ground endlessly and come out the same place you started.

My worrying is misguided in that it only serves to frighten me, make me afraid of the unknown and cause me to take a very cynical view that nothing will ever change. When these feelings and emotions begin to arouse, I have learned to begin to channel and redirect them into the places where I can have significant impact.

ZACHARY ALMAGUER

"Can we work together to fix our country?", The Spectrum, March 17, 2017


The Greeks said that worry is two opposing forces that tear a person apart. The Saxons say worry is like a wolf with a stranglehold on a man's throat. Worry chokes our physical strength, our creative powers, our spiritual growth and our joy.

TOM O'BRIEN

"Focus your thoughts on God", Ellwood City Ledger, March 24, 2017


Some people believe that worrying might help them solve some problem in the future. How do they know if they have solved the problem and achieved their goal in worrying? If the problem is in future, do they have to wait till it occurs to know if they have solved it? Do they believe that they know they have solved the problem when they feel less anxious and stressed? This is where the problem lies. If your signal to stop worrying is when you feel less anxious, but worrying just increases your stress and anxiety, you are never going to get the signal to stop worrying.
