When I find myself caught in the grip of worry, it’s as though I’m trapped in a rocking chair. Back and forth I go, frantically trying to move forward but getting nowhere. It’s during these moments that I’ve coined the term “Pitbull syndrome.” Just like a Pitbull clings tightly to its prey and refuses to let go, I too at times like many of us, hold on fiercely to my problems or situations, unable to release them from my mind. But there is something that helps me break free from this cycle: prayer. However, even when I turn to prayer for peace, there are times when letting go remains difficult. In those instances, reaching out to a close Christian friend through a call or email becomes my next step. Their guidance and support have proven invaluable in helping me overcome the shackles of worry.

Allow me now to share some advice that has brought comfort and peace into my life – do not worry! Worrying does not help us; instead, it exacerbates our troubles further. When we allow ourselves to be consumed by worry, our focus shifts away from God onto our problems. The very act of worrying divides our minds – merimnao (the biblical word for worry) is derived from two Greek words: merizo (meaning “to divide”) and nous (representing “the mind”). Therefore, it is crucial for us all to remember that we must gather our thoughts together and keep them united rather than succumbing to worries that only serve as distractions. So we must remember to ask God to get our minds together and keep them that way, and willfully choose to stop worrying! ~ Bill Greguska

Matthew 6:34   Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Stop Worrying About The Future!


 

Don’t Be Like A Rocking Chair!

Worrying doesn’t help; it is a total waste of time! God says, do not worry, and that we ought not to be anxious about anything, but why do we still worry? Have you ever thought that God tells us things we ought to do, and did you realize that what He tells us is for our good? Worry is like rocking back in forth in a rocking chair, you may get the feeling you are getting somewhere, but in reality, you are wasting your time! When rocking in a rocking chair, you may seem to be doing a lot, but in reality, you are getting nowhere, which is just like worrying. You get nowhere, but why do we still do it? Do not worry! ~ Bill Greguska
