By worry we think we can control the uncontrolable

Unnatural
It is unnatural to worry. In all God’s creation only people don’t trust God.

All The Worry In One Day
J. Arthur Rank, an English executive, decided to do all his worrying on one day each week. He chose Wednesdays. When anything happened that gave him anxiety and annoyed his ulcer, he would write it down and put it in his worry box and forget about it until next Wednesday. The interesting thing was that on the following Wednesday when he opened his worry box, he found that most of the things that had disturbed him the past six days were already settled. It would have been useless to have worried about them.
The Interest On Worry
Worry is the interest we pay on tomorrow’s troubles.

The Fear In Worry
Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. In encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

Mickey Rivers
Mickey Rivers, a one time outfielder for the Texas Rangers, explained his philosophy of life:
Ain’t no sense worrying about things you got control over, because if you got control over them, ain’t no sense worrying. And their ain’t no sense worrying about things you got NO control over either, because if you got no control over them, ain’t no sense worrying.
Reported in Dallas Morning News, may 20, 1984
Worry and Prayer
If we prayed as much as we worry, we’d have a lot less to worry about.

Have No Anxiety
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
