Worry

I have always been a worrier. I would worry about everything, what people thought of me, what would happen to me if... what would happen about this, how am I going to pay for this or that. As I worried nothing was accomplished. Nothing was gained except me having a insecure notion that I may be able to change what was going to happen. I have gotten better with this lately, I have have just come to accept what will happen... will happen and I have faith that God will not give or take anything that I can not handle. God gives me scriptures to guide me thru life and to hold on to in times of storms. I have Psalms 37 printed out and it is hanging right by my desk... so anytime I get worried or have any doubt in the ways I am going I look at it and remember the promises it stands for. I will NOT be bullied, I will NOT be worried, I WILL live with my head held high and know that the things of the earth are fleeting, including the worrying I have done in my life. The things I worried about have come and gone and all I did was cause myself to be sad or anxious. But that will happen no longer.

Phillipians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
