WEARY OF WORRY
Worry, what a waste of time…let me ask you, does it solve anything? did it give you peace or answers for you need ? I am sure your answers will be a resounding NO! Because worry only causes confusion, depression, frustration and a splitting headache..but most of all, as you figured out by now that going around the circle about the same issue only makes the issue bigger and bigger.
I have wasted years worrying about things that seemed so enormous that a solution evaded me. I refuse to participate in that activity at this time of my life.
I hope to share my findings with you with the hope that perhaps this will help at least one person, then this post will achieve its purpose.
I found the answer in my mid forties as at that time my life was in such shambles I did not know where to turn, finances were not meeting the expenses even with my working 3 jobs, and as a single mom I still had the responsibility of taking care of my children’s needs. where to go? As a last resort I turned to God for my answers, that should have been the first place I turned ( DUH)..any way, I begged, cried, shouted out to Him, no answers..then, I turned to His Word. As I was a novice in the power of His word at the time, I turned to a page where the quote was “Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph….” I didn’t feel triumphant but it kinda clicked something in me..As I studied on I found that the biggest battles we fight are the ones in our minds, whaterver you allow to captivate your minds will rule your life..so for step one; I decided to renew my mind. When negative thought would come in I referred to the scripture I learned and refused to give it power over my new found peace. through out all these years I studied and noted that when ever I stuck with the principles of His word the battle of worry became less and less.
Did the answers come immediately? Heck NO ! but they did come just at the right time…did they rain out of the sky…NO, but my mind was clear, without worry I was able to see the answers and act on them as needed..Do I believe in miracles YUP, In fact I depend on them.. Have I every received a miracle from God…constantly! Because I know He is the author the my new found peace, but most of all because He loves me, that is why He is always there for me.
So my friends know this; worry will not add one single day to your life, it is a thief and has no power over you…You are in charge of your mind, not worry…just like your computer, reprogram, refresh and go on with the peace that God has your back.
If you would like for me to post more on this topic please let me know, as what I have learned in all these years would require it to be a small novel
