If I had my life to live over, I would perhaps have more actual troubles but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.  ~Don Herold

Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.  ~Author Unknown

I love both of these quotes about the subject of worry.  So what actually is worry?  According to the dictionary “worry is thoughts and images of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats.”  So much of what we worry about are things yet to come.  Anticipating possibilities of the future causes us more stress than does dealing with the realities of each day.  The Bible tells us not to do it!  Yet we all have our pet worries.  What are yours: finances, marriage, kids, health, jobs, other relationships, etc?  

As Dr. Phil says: “ How’s that working for you?”   Our lives are full of stress and challenges.   The real question we need to ask ourselves is how do we deal with the stresses of life in a healthy and helpful way. 

Come and join us in Soul-utions at 11:00 AM on Sunday mornings to find out the answer to this and to other questions about stress and how the Bible encourages and instructs us to deal with it.
