Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
When God is at the center of your life, you Worship, when He's not, you Worry.
While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow.
The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.
Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.
Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable
The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.
If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.
You must never let your personal life be outpaced by your professional life. If you do, [if] your professional life takes more of your time than your personal life, then that's called stress, okay? And it's called worry and things like that. Worry is a sign that you're trying to be God. The greatest stress reliever to me is this sentence: God is God, and I'm not.
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
If what I do pleases God, it is always the right thing to do, and I can stop worrying about everyone else's reactions. This dramatically simplifies life.
Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.
