WORRY QUOTES II
quotations about worry & worrying
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.

Worry is half impatience and half ignorance.

Keystones of Thought
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.

"It's worrying to hear we regret our time worrying", Eastern Daily Press, February 22, 2016
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.

If we didn't worry what would we do? How would you set the alarm for the morning? How would we finish the report we have to do? Worry is essential to our life. It just takes a life of its own and that's when people get into trouble.

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.

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.
