Five Life-Changing Questions
(2) Is This Worth Worrying About?
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.
—John 14:27
Worry saps stamina, triggers health problems, torpedoes optimism, impairs judgment, and smothers gratitude.
Worry doubles your trouble: if what you’re worrying about doesn’t happen, you’ve lived through it once needlessly; if it does happen, you’ll have lived through it twice.
Worrying will change neither your past nor your future but will poison your present.
“Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Mt 6:27 NLT).
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything . . . If you do this you will experience God’s peace . . . His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:6–7).
Worry has never fixed anything.
