I saw this message on Kimberly's blog. It is such a great message. We worry like crazy over things that would work themselves out with a short amount of time. The worry box is such a good idea that I would like to try...I don't know how successful I would be "setting aside a time to worry" but I would love to journal {but what did I say about me & journaling?} my worries & then later go back & see how {& how quickly} they worked themselves out, not needing the worry!
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" -Matthew 6:25-27
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." -Psalm 55:22
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." -Proverbs 3:5-6 (New Living Translation)
"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." -Proverbs 12:25
i've been trying to journal too! i found this thing called The Happiness Project and she suggests a one sentence journal. I've tried that! I just need to remember to do it! It is really easy (when I don't forget!)
