Why Worry?

Worrier? Do you worry almost everything that's happening in your life? I do…

Worry is an emotion, a troubled state of mind, wherein a person is anxious about certain thing or event that might happen in the future. In reality, worry is a form of incessant FEAR, not caused by some physical outside influence but is embedded, real or imaginary, deep within the mind and never ceases, according to Lee E. Warren, D.D (© Power Latent in Man 1998).

Human as we are, worrying is inevitable. I do worry a lot also. I worry about my past and present life, my life in the future, my hopes and my dreams, my actions, my chosen path, everything. If I chose to stay in the shell today, what will be its effect tomorrow or in the future? But why do we worry? Why is it so hard to handle issues in life? The answer is easy, we just need to examine ourselves, look within our lives, feel that comforting words in our hearts saying, "Have Faith."

Jesus is speaking to us everyday...sometimes we are preoccupied with so many worries that we fail to listen, to focus on His voice. To combat against worries/anxieties, we need to learn how to rest our mind and let go of our worldly concerns. We need to open our hearts and let the Spirit of God to dwell within us. WorriersAnonymous.org is a simple site created by a "Chief Worrier" that provide rooms/doors for reflection and meditation For worriers like me, though the site is very very simple, it really does help. Every link, every page in the site uses music, prayer, videos and pictures that help soothe your worried mind. The thing is, in the silence of your heart, focus on the voice of the Almighty, let God speak to you. You don't have to worry about tomorrow or what the future will be, let God take care of it. Visit the site now and relax your worried soul in the warmth of God's embrace, like I did. To the "Chief Worrier", a million thanks for developing such site....

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:34 NIV

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:27-33 NIV
