Worry is an old man with bended head, carrying a load of feathers which he thinks are lead.

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

The highest perfection of human life consists in the mind of man being detached from care, for the sake of God.

Rich Miller, Letting Go of Fear (Harvest House Publishers, 2018).

I never had to really worry about anything and I guess I was naive.

Sometimes you can lock the doors and close the blinds, but the monsters are still there inside your house, sleeping and breathing and just waiting to wake up and terrorize you all over again.

When you're someone who likes control, this world can often resemble staring into a broken mirror. You see the sharp, ragged edges but lose sight of yourself.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones. And when you have finished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Worrying can lead to stress. What do we accomplish when we worry? Focus your mind on actions rather than on worrying! Action brings less stress

Each morning, when we wake—if we wake—we pick up whatever it is we've been given to carry for that day, with the sweet Lord Jesus in the yoke beside us to tote the load. Each night we lay it down, giving it into God's hands. If it's still there in the morning, we pick it up and begin again. If the burden is gone or if there is something different, we know where to start.

Don't you feel that your scarred heart was made whole the moment you gave your service to Christ?

The nature and specifics of the negative depend on the part of the country and the year, but the common thread is: self-doubt.
