Worry is the advance interest you pay on troubles that seldom come.
We worry about what MIGHT happen...it is all imagined.
Modern medical research has proven that worry breaks down resistance to disease.
Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of it's sorrow, it empties today of it's strength.
Worry never changes a single thing except the worrier.
Certainly, we are to pray, plan, and prepare for tomorrow, but we are to not worry about what might happen.
The load of tomorrow added to that of yesterday, carried today, makes even the strongest women stumble.
If we aren't worried about tomorrow, we can concentrate on trusting God for today.
1Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Humility means to have total trust in God alone. It is the surrender of our total being--intellect, emotions, will, plans, and judgments. It is relinquishing everything. Unload..throw the whole weight of your anxieties upon him, for you are his personal concern.
