~ WORRY ~

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.  It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Charles Schultz

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~

Worry...that's a topic I'm really good at! Since working the Twelve Steps, however, I am beginning to see some things about worry that, hopefully, will soon make it a thing of the past in my life. After all, why should I worry?  What has worry ever done for me, except mess up my life?

I am seeing that when I am worrying about something, I have not turned it over to my Higher Power, and I am continuing to act from my own self-will. Or, I did turn it over to my Higher Power, but didn't really trust Him to take care of it, and so I took it back!

I had a breakthrough, just a couple of days ago, concerning worry. I
was concerned about a decision my husband and I had to make and it was
so far beyond my ability to see into the future that I gave up and prayed for help. Somehow I let go and let God. Suddenly a beautiful stillness and peace came over me. I felt calmer than I had in years ... very calm and still and at peace. I felt completely reassured that God was handling my "decision" and that God was completely competent to do so.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .

I abandon worry. I let go and let God, and enjoy the serenity and peace of trust in God.

thanks!! I tend to worry. I try to hand it all over but thoughts creep in and decide to live in my brain at times. I have to weed them out constantly.

I read somewhere in one of the daily reading books that worry is like a rocking chair. It might give me something to do for an hour or two but it doesn't get me anywhere. And although I wholeheartedly agree with that, sometimes I still like to sit in my rocking chair.
