The Worry Trap

In my late teens/early 20’s, I was introduced to many of the world’s BIG problems…

…and given possible solutions to work at them. (that was 40 years ago and they’re still looming!) I got to the point that’s all I could think about, and I became very critical of others and in some ways felt proud – that I was more aware of how bad things were than others…a backwards type of status symbol! 😦  Then I heard a talk on not worrying and fretting over what evil people were doing. Instead focus on doing good – lots of it – and let God handle them. That was a turning point for me.

But don’t think I haven’t succumbed to worry time and time again. It’s a daily thing. For me, I believe God wants me to major on the good, positive, helpful ways I can build other people up and extend hope to them – which is what we all need.

That’s my mission. Encourage. Uplift. Give hope. Help others see what’s right with things today…to shine light on those doing good things…hopeful the darkness that becomes exposed (as the light of goodness shines) will become light itself.

“God help me see light so I can shine light to help others see more clearly that we are made for life!”

How do you fight worry?
