When I googled the definition for worry, the phrase
"720 results" popped up along with the words depression, anxiety, stress and the question,
will anyone be normal?
We live in a world fraught with work stress, family stress, health stress, relationship stress, financial stress. Is it possible to be "normal?" And what is normal after all?
Give God your worries.
When I kept things to myself,
I felt weak deep inside me.
Psalm 32:3
Give all your worries to him,
because he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7
The German word for worry
means "to strangle," and
the Greek word means
"to divide the mind."
In COFFEE BREAK WITH GOD, I read the following:
Worry Is a Rat
Years ago, a pilot was making a flight around the world. When he was two hours from his last landing field, he heard a noise which he recognized as the gnawing of a rat.
Worry is a rodent. It cannot live in the secret place of the Most High. It cannot breathe in the atmosphere made vital by prayer and familiarity with scripture. Worry dies when we ascend to the Lord through prayer and His Word.

REMEMBER:
Give all your worries to him,
because he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7
Pessimism, negativity, doubt, worry are Satan's tools.
Choose to shed pessimism, doubt, worry and
accept grace so that you can stand in God's light.
accept grace so that you can stand in God's light.
Uphold me according to Your promise, that I may live.
Psalm 119: 116
Christ be with me.
Christ before me.
Christ in me.
Christ under me.
Christ over me.
Christ on my right hand...
Christ on this side...
pg. 84, COFFEE BREAK WITH GOD
This is what Christ wants your "normal" to be.
Dearest Heavenly Father,
You have created this day.
When the worry starts, let me remember that you created me to be filled with joy as I think of the many gifts you have given. Let me share this goodness with others for you truly are with me, before me, in me... Giving you the glory.
Amen and amen.
