This is a draining habit to get into, and really serves no purpose. Why do people do it?
I have seen people that "say" they are Christians and go to church every Sunday and sometimes during the week. Yet they will worry themselves sick over things they can do nothing about. If they will read the Bible a little closer they will see that it says NOT to worry. Yet they will do it anyway.
It causes all kinds of problems physically and mentally. So why do this?
I will never forget the little restaurant that I went to years ago. We went to the register to pay our bill and we were waiting for the cashier. There were the usual toothpicks, mints and candies. But there were also these little cards. I picked one up and read it; and to this day I still have it. It said,"Why worry? If you can do something about it then do it. If you can do nothing about it, then why worry?"
If you think about it, it makes wonderful sense. And I try hard to live by that. I have been much happier for it.
I catch myself falling into the worrying thing once in awhile but I always stop myself.
Just take care of today. Yesterday is gone and you can do nothing about it. Leave it where it is. Tomorrow isnt here yet so dont worry about it.
If something is too big for you to handle, then give it to God and don't worry. He will take care of it; just have faith in him.
And he will, in his time and his way. Just have the faith and trust. All will right itself. It always does.
