WORRY QUOTES II
quotations about worry & worrying
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.

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.
