36. Worry

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature on cubit? If ye be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Luke 12:26-27.

We would worry less about what others think of us if we realised how seldom they do. > Ethel Barrett.

If a care is too small to be turned into a prayer, it is too small to be made into a burden. > Corrie ten Boom.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. > John Adams.

Worry and trust cannot live in the same house. When worry is allowed to come in one door, trust walks out the other door; and worry stays until trust is invited back in again, whereupon worry walks out. > Robert G. LeTourneau.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength. > Charles H. Spurgeon.

It ain’t no use putting up your umbrella until it rains. > Alice Caldwell Rice.

Anxiety is a natural result when our hopes are centred in anything short of God and his will for us. > Billy Graham.

Don’t tell that worry doesn’t do any good. I know better. The things I worry about don’t happen. > Author Unknown.

Borrow trouble for yourself, if that’s your nature, but don’t lend it to your neighbours. > Rudyard Kipling.

You have a disagreeable duty to do at twelve o’clock. Do not blacken nine and ten and eleven, and all between, with the colour of twelve. Do the work of each, and reap your reward in peace. So when the dreaded moment in the future becomes the present, you shall meet it walking in the light, and that light will overcome its darkness. > George MacDonald.

See also Psalms 37:7-11; 46:1; Luke 10:38-42.
