Worry. It takes my strength for today
away. Worry it robs me of peace. Worry I cannot count the hours of
sleep you have stolen. Worry you have taken the joy of the moment
I am living in and allowed it to slip
by unnoticed. The child's smile of joy in a task well done. The joy
of creation around me as I watch my children play in the fresh beautiful world. The moments I leave
unearthed, I too often have taken worry on as a friend. Worry truly
are NO friend of mine, yet I invite you to come sit at my table,my bedside and even enter
into my thoughts while as I open my bible.
Worry has taken my life and emptied it
of all peace. I worry in place of prayer. I take my worry and
project its ugly fingers into the hearts of those around me. I pass it down to my children and
drowned my marriage with worry.
Worry creates a passageway for anger,
comparison, doubt, fear, discontentment. The more I worry, the more I
try to control EVERYTHING as IF I had some godlike
power to change what only HE can.
What is the opposite of worry?
Calmness, certainty, cheer, comfort, confidence, happiness, joy, pleasure, sureness, trust, unconcern, advantage, calm, contentment.
All of him and none of me!
