Anxiety. — Anxiety is the gap between the NOW and the THEN. So if you are in the NOW, you can't be anxious, because your excitement flows immediately into ongoing spontaneous activity.

Life is governed by chance, not wisdom.

If you're not careful to think and speak words of faith, worry will creep in, and it will not only steal your peace and joy, it will steal your 'today.' The present is the greatest gift God ever gives us. So hold on to the peace that's yours in Christ. Don't let it go.

Confine yourself to the present.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone.

When someone asks us where we want to be in our lives, the last thing that occurs to us is to look down at our feet and say, 'Here, I guess, since this is where I am.'

It's much less demanding to think about God's will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes.

Obsessing over the future is not how God wants us to live, because showing us the future is not God's way.

Live each moment, each precious moment that you have. Live each one as if it were your last. And your first. Miss

The Disaster of Negative Thinking. The subconscious mind makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses. It works with the material we feed it, through our thought impulses. The subconscious mind will translate into reality a thought driven by fear just as readily as it will translate into reality a thought driven by courage, or faith.

Thus we are sucked away into the future—and we are incapable of actually living one minute of life.
