Why Worry?

Anxiety  makes us ill in body, mind, and spirit, yet it is ingrained in our nature from the moment we are born.

Worry only feeds our panic over situations that are beyond our control.

Letting  go and trusting seems impossible.

My family’s word for over thinking is Mental Kung-Fu.  Try saying it and soon you will smile at the image of  thoughts wrangling with each other. Laughter cuts through our  anxiety because we realize how absurd we are.

Might as well give up. I was not designed to control everything and everyone. So I might as well give up control and give God His job back.  When I accept that I am simply a child of God, nothing more, nothing less, then I can relax.

Matthew 6: 25 “That is why I tell you to not worry about every day, whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They do not plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And are not you far more valuable to him than they are”?
