You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.

The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.

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

Linus:I guess it's wrong always to be worrying about tomorrow. Maybe we should think only about today. Charlie Brown: No, that's giving up. I'm still hoping that yesterday will get better.

A businessman who was a chronic worrier decided to analyze his anxieties. He found that 40% of them were about things that were likely never to happen, 30 % were about past decisions that could not be changed, 12 % concerned criticism from others that didn't matter anyway, 10% were about his health (which he was already doing his best to protect), and only 8% were legitimate causes of worry. If we could eliminate our worries by 92%, we would be well on our way...

Worry Hinders Our Faith According to our nation's Bureau of Standards, a dense fog covering seven city blocks to a depth of a hundred feet contains less than one glass of water. All of that fog, if it could be condensed into water, wouldn't quite fill a drinking glass. Compare this to the things we often worry about. Like fog our worries can thoroughly block our vision of the light of God's promises, but the fact is, they have little substance to them.

I have been told that a dense fog that covers a seven-city-block area one hundred feet deep is composed of less than one glass of water divided into sixty thousand million drops. Not much is there but it can cripple an entire city. Worry and anxiety are like that. Just a glass full can cripple your life. At the moment when Martha needed most to stop and put down her cares and concerns she did not. She missed the greatest moment of her life, and why? For the roast in the oven.

Worry has been defined as "a small trickle of fear that meanders through the mind until it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained."

Fear and worry are a lot like a scarecrow. What harm can a scarecrow do? We scarecrow constructors know that the answer is "none," but the birds don't know that. You're smarter than a bird. That's why the prophet Jeremiah says that some of the enemy's greatest threats are "like a scarecrow in a melon patch.... Do not fear them; they can do no harm" (Jeremiah 10:5).... If those black birds ever figured out our strategy, they'd realize that a scarecrow is actually a tip-off to the location of the best corn. So isn't it possible that the very fears the enemy tries to plant in your mind are unwitting advertisements to God's good stuff?
