Matthew 6:33 (2of3) Anxiety
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. -Matthew 6:33-34
Anxiety is something I am all to familiar with. When I take personality tests they always comment on how I am an internal processor. What that ends up meaning is I am the guy who lays awake @ night endlessly contemplating everything. I am not sure I will ever be able to turn my brain off but i have learned a few things I can do to calm anxiety…
1. Tell someone else
When I am worried that something may or may not happen I have found I can skip over my stress by just speaking the concerns out loud. When you tell a friend what you are thinking something powerful happens.
2. Consider the birds
What I need in this life and what i want in this life are two very different sets of things. I am not going to stress out over what i want, I am going to rest in the fact I will have what i need.
