Why Worry?

I would be lying if I said I didn't worry... I honestly worry about everything... a lot... and sometimes it is quite a problem...

I worry about little things... to big things... that are often 100% out of my control...

So... the constant battle I have with myself is why worry??  What good does it cause besides creating unnecessary stress and anxiety that eventually filters on to those around me...

Well last week an answer came to me in my daily devotional...

The title of the devotion was "Whose Perspective Is It?"

Here are some points that really stood out to me within the reading:

• positive thinking can change your reality...
• God is positive, and being positive is HIS reality
• Romans 8:28 says that God works out good things if we love Him and want His will in our lives...
• 90% of what we worry about never happens
• People assume being negative is more realistic than being positive...
• Do you want to look at life from God's perspective or the devil's?
• Concentrate on the origin of your thoughts...
• Thinking negatively makes you miserable...

So why be miserable when you can be happy???  God is so good!  I know that and want to live for Him because it is shown to me in so many aspects of my life... I am so content knowing that if I follow God I know that when and if ANYTHING negative may happen HE is in control and will bring good to all those who follow Him...

Adios worries & anxieties... I choose to be happy! :)
