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.

"It's worrying to hear we regret our time worrying", Eastern Daily Press, February 22, 2016
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.

Quick Quotations
To live by worry is to live against reality.

Worry is a tool that the devil uses to silently destroy lives and kill destinies. It comes in as if it can provide solution to the issues at hand but Jesus Christ has warned us that worry is helpless -- it is an enemy to kill, steal and destroy.

Worrying is an emotional drug that not only does not get you where you think you want to go but it almost always assures you'll never be happy.

"Worrying Half Your Life Away", The Ceres Courier, February 10, 2016
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.

Worry is half impatience and half ignorance.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY
Keystones of Thought
Some people believe that worrying might help them solve some problem in the future. How do they know if they have solved the problem and achieved their goal in worrying? If the problem is in future, do they have to wait till it occurs to know if they have solved it? Do they believe that they know they have solved the problem when they feel less anxious and stressed? This is where the problem lies. If your signal to stop worrying is when you feel less anxious, but worrying just increases your stress and anxiety, you are never going to get the signal to stop worrying.

Fret not thyself, it tends only to evil-doing.
BIBLE
Psalms 37:8
When you worry, you go over the same ground endlessly and come out the same place you started.

When I was burdened with worries, you comforted me and made me feel secure.
BIBLE
Psalms 94:19
As for what has already happened, you can't do anything about it, so it is pointless to waste time thinking about it--to worry is an exercise in mindlessness. As for what might happen, we must remember that we don't know the future. Many things we worry about never happen, so many of our worries waste our energy. I know this is easier said than done, but realizing the pointlessness of worry is a start.
