“…90% of the things I worry about…”

My mother told me that once because I worried so much. Unfortunately it only increased the problem because I decided if I just worried about almost everything I could keep it from happening. Not the effect she was looking for.

I really like this one . Thanks for posting it!

oh this is great! i may have to take this from you

“if you are looking for a way out consider a name change. In the old testament, prophets were the ones who talked about the future, and much like wordless, what they foretold was bad. The only way you could remain in good standing as a prophet was if your predictions were infallible. Err once and you were forever banned from making future prophecies (Deut 18:22). Using this standard, wordless are certifiably false prophets.” Ed Welch, Running Scared: fear, worry and the God of rest

I would love to receive these inspirational quotes in my inbox every day! They always seem to be just what I need to hear.

Hi Crystal!

Thanks for sharing this quote today!
Of all days, today is when I needed it the most. I have been worrying about something all day and my sweet fiance’ reminded me that what I am worrying about may not even come to pass. I think God used my fiance’ and your blog to remind me that He is in control and He opens doors that man can’t close and closes doors that man can’t open.

Thank you again for everything you do through your blog!

I always just thinking of worrying as working through all the possible outcomes of something, which helps me deal with what might come. I think it’s productive as long as you don’t let it consume you.

I so agree. I worry about everything so I try to picture things in my mind and in a positive way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I can’t control the anxiety but we carry on!
