What will happen today? What will happen tomorrow? What is going to happen to him or her or them? Will he say yes? Will he say no? What happens if this happens or that, and what about if the other thing happens? Whatever will be done, if that thing happens then? And then again, what if it never happens, or what if it was all made up? How will he or she or they react, and what will we do next time? It seems there is a whole lot to worry about these days, isn't there?
Some say that ninety five percent of the things people worry about never come true, and then others reply, “But it's the five percent that I'm worried about.” People worry over dates, spouses, children jobs, trips, meetings, games, tests, interviews, health issues and the like every day. Some worry where the next bite of food will come from, and others are anxious over where they will sleep. The bills have pushed to the top of the list for most worryites these days, and wondering where the next dollar will come from has made the forefront. The list of worries goes on and on and on in most who breathe, and the compilation of concerns seem to have no end in site.
So, what is one to do about worry? Some have read or heard, “Don't worry or Be anxious in nothing”, however, the writer has never known that phrase alone to remedy the problem. Sharing with others may help a little, but most people have their own worries and unless you pay them handsomely, they really don't want to hear it. So where is the peace that replaces worry? Where is the rest that cures restlessness? Where is the cure for compulsive anxiety? There is an answer, and those who seek deep enough will find, those who ask more will discover a solution, and those who knock on enough doors will find an open door waiting to remove all worries, anxieties and concerns. Now, let the search begin. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
As a champion worrier I can say, after much searching, the only relief to be found is to go to the Lord. Every day. Every hour. Every minute if necessary.
