I Can Help It

by Kay Heitsch.

Worrying is a waste of time. It doesn't change anything. It messes with your mind and steals your happiness. ~ Stop Worrying Quote

I used to be a big worrier. I would always say, "I can't help it!" But I found out I can help it. When I learned that I was free to not worry and I could put everything in God's hands and be thankful, I changed. When a worrying thought came to my mind, I would say, "Thank you, Lord, for working on this.

I also learned that one of the definitions of worry was to torment oneself with thoughts. So I decided I was smart enough not to want to torment myself.

Our Bible verse says, Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers, ask God for what you need, always asking Him with a thankful heart. Philippians 4:6 GNT

When we are thankful, it helps us to not worry and ask God for what we need.

Worrying is a waste of time. It doesn't change anything. Instead, it messes with your mind and steals your happiness.
