Worry

Humans are prone to worry like we are not sorry.

Humans are prone to worry like we are not sorry. Okay, that was a bad intro and a terrible rap line.

A few weeks back, some friends and family had a few things to say about worry and how it affects our well-being. The effect is not a positive one, and it is important we stay clear of worry, as it has no good thing to add to us. It is easy to dribble into that state of endlessly thinking of things that could happen and things that would happen if something was done differently.

Hey, stop that! Please stop stressing and thinking of the future you do not control. We usually worry about the future, but have you realised that for everything you worried so much about, your worried thoughts really did not change anything, and you only channelled so much energy into what you shouldn't?

A particular lesson from that time discussing worry was what a sister said, " My worry in January is not my worry today." Then it hit me: the more we worry, the more there is to worry about.


Why not stop worrying and begin casting all your fears on God? He is more than able to help us with our burdens and worries. If you thought so much (worry) about X today, if X eventually happens, rather than be grateful, we jump on to Z to be concerned about. We become ingrates of some sort as we live each day worrying about what we do not have control over. So rather than wallow in worry, I will plead with you to glow in gratitude.
